2010 Map of Gold Sand

About this map

Sandy Creek and its many tributaries, including the colorfully named Devils Cradle Creek, carve through this rural section of Franklin County. The landscape is defined by a network of historic crossroads and small communities such as White Level, Gupton, and Alert. Notable landmarks like the White Level Airfield and Highland Memory Gardens suggest the integration of modern infrastructure within a traditionally agrarian setting. This era of the landscape features a dense web of local roads named for prominent residents, such as Duke Valentine Wynne Rd and Alber Gupton Rd, which provide a genealogical roadmap of family landholdings. To the south, Sukey Young Crossroads and the settlement of Oswego mark the transition toward more populated districts, while the northern reaches remain punctuated by small creek crossings like Persons Bridge.
