About this map

New Sharon serves as the primary hub along the winding Sandy River in this detailed topographic survey of Franklin County. The landscape is defined by its historic mill settlements, including Allens Mills near the shores of Clearwater Pond and Weeks Mills further south along Muddy Brook. These small communities, once vital to the local river-based economy, are connected by a network of rural roads like Federal Row and Goodrich RD.

Genealogists can trace several family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the township, such as Pike Cemetery, Gower Cemetery, and Blake Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by prominent heights like Mosher Hill and Bannock Mountain, which overlook a valley of brooks and ponds. This map provides a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure while preserving the names of the small corners and mill sites that have anchored the region for generations.
