Franklinton and the neighboring settlements of Sheridan, Springhill, and Pine Cliff dot this Washington Parish landscape in the late 2010s. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Bogue Lusa Cr and Clearwater Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous family-named branches like Mile Br and Johnson Br. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting many local burial grounds such as Simmons Cem, Magee Cem, and Creel Cemetery. The western edge features the Franklinton Airport, while the eastern portion is characterized by the winding path of Witcher Cr and Thomas Cr. The survey detail captures a mix of residential development and wetlands, notably the Back Swamp, illustrating how the local community has integrated with the watershed of the Black Bayou.
