About this map

Mitchell Creek and White Oak Creek define the low-lying drainage patterns of Franklin County in this 2010 survey, where the landscape is a patchwork of small-scale agriculture and industrial extraction. The rural character is preserved in small communities like Eureka and Oakdale, connected by a network of county roads such as FM 71. Industrial presence is concentrated at the Shell Oil Field, while the eastern portion of the map is punctuated by water features including Paradise Lake and its associated Paradise Lake Dam.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, specifically Keith Cemetery near the northern boundary and Colliers Chapel Cemetery further south. These landmarks, along with the settlement at Hagansport, provide a modern look at a region defined by its rivers, including the South Sulphur River and Big Creek, which have influenced the development and layout of the county for generations.
