About this map

Russellville serves as the commercial hub in this 2011 survey of Franklin County, showing a landscape defined by industrial development and a series of rural communities along the Highway 43 corridor. The map details the transition from the structured street grid surrounding the Russellville Post Office to the smaller residential clusters of Littleville, Tharptown, and Hester Heights. This area is particularly dense with genealogical sites, including the Knights of Pythias Cemetery, Sadler Cemetery, and Luketown Cemetery located on the southwestern edge of the city.

Water features like Stinking Bear Creek and James Creek carve through the terrain, with Hyde Lake Dam and City Lake providing local reservoirs. In the rural outskirts, natural landmarks like Coburn Mountain and Chalybeate Spring contrast with the more developed Woodlawn Heights and Fairview areas. For those tracing family histories, the distribution of numerous family-named burial grounds like Henson Cemetery and Tharp Cemetery provides spatial context for historic landholdings across the county.
