About this map

The Salmon River anchors the landscape of Franklin County, flowing through the heart of Malone and southward past Whippleville. During the mid-1960s, this area served as a regional hub for education and civic life, evidenced by the high concentration of institutions like Franklin Academy, St Josephs Ursuline Academy, and the County Infirmary. The town's religious and community roots are deeply visible through numerous burial grounds, including the large Morning Side Cemetery and Notre Dame Cem.

Transportation and industry define the outskirts, from the Malone-Dufort Airport west of town to the Central railroad corridor passing through Malone Junction. Beyond the urban center, the terrain transitions into the managed timberlands of the Franklin State Forest, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits suggests the local importance of aggregate mining for regional development and road networks.
