This beautifully designed map of Franklin, Connecticut was created by KNOWOL in 2026. It shows the town and its streets as they look in the modern day, combining topographical data with the beautiful aesthetic of vintage atlases. The map was built from public survey records and professional geographic data that modern day cartographers rely on. The shaded terrain around Downtown and Smith Corner comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, down to Champion Road.
Current civic places and points of interest such as Town Hall and Janet Carlson Calvert Library were drawn from the supported municipal, school, park, and OpenStreetMap records used for this edition.
The combination of modern data with a vintage historical map aesthetic creates a one-of-a-kind piece made for people who call Franklin home. It is a memory of the town, as it is today. You can zoom in on the map below to explore the details, or click here to purchase a print for your home.
