Franklin and Augusta: Towns

These maps compare the distribution of towns in Augusta and Franklin with a one mile buffer around them. No resident of Augusta lived more than 5.5 miles from a town or village, and no Franklin resident lived more than 6 miles from a town or village.

The maps are derived from a D. H. Davison map of Franklin County, published in 1858 and a Jedediah Hotchkiss map of Augusta County, published in 1870 and based on surveys completed "during the war." The maps have been georeferenced at the Virginia Center for Digital History, using ESRI Arc Info to produce a Geographic Information Systems map and database of households.
