Franklin County, Pa., Railroads and Roads
This map of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, shows the densely built transportation infrastructure, including railroads, major
roads, and minor roads. Nearly all residences clustered along major and minor roads. Only a handful of residents lived off
of a road.
The map is derived from a D. H. Davison map of Franklin County, published in 1858. The Davison map has been georeferenced
at the Virginia Center for Digital History, using ESRI Arc Info to produce a Geographic Information Systems map and database
of households.
