About this map

Hagansport and the lowlands of the Sulphur River define this corner of Franklin County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of creek drainages, including White Oak Cr, Cobb Jones Cr, and Timber Cr, which feed into local catchments like Terry Lake and Romal Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial sites, such as the Wimms Family Cem and the Prairie Academy Cem.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and rural infrastructure is seen in the web of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 71, which connects the small settlement of Daphne to the surrounding townships. The boundary between Red River and Franklin counties follows the natural course of the river at the northern edge, illustrating how the swampy terrain has historically dictated political and property lines.
