2019 Map of Williamson

About this map

Conococheague Creek and its many tributaries, including Back Creek and Muddy Run, wind through this pastoral landscape of southern Franklin County. The area is defined by a dense network of family-run farms and small villages like Williamson, Upton, and Welsh Run. A high concentration of family burial grounds and denominational cemeteries, such as the Plum-Schneider Farm Cem and the Ebenezer United Brethren Cem, points to the deep generational roots of the local Brethren, Mennonite, and Presbyterian communities. One of the most distinctive local landmarks is the Martins-Mill Covered Bridge crossing Paddy Run south of Williamson. The map also captures the local aviation history at JJ & PK Airport and the historical importance of the West Branch Conococheague Creek in shaping the early settlements of Markes and Lemasters.
