THE FRANKLIN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Southern Holocene Meander Belts setting.

Franklin city has 9.96 square miles of land in St. Mary Parish. Its Census reference point is in Southern Holocene Meander Belts, within Mississippi Alluvial Plain.

The Mississippi's broad alluvial plain includes river terraces, swales and natural levees. Small changes in elevation distinguish local settings within this generally flat river landscape.

Regional context: Mississippi Alluvial Plain ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Franklin and St. Mary Parish

Franklin is associated with St. Mary Parish in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

St. Mary Parish

Franklin by land and water

The Census records 0.53 square miles of water within Franklin, or 5.1% of its total area. It is 45.1 percentage points lower than the 50.1% recorded for St. Mary Parish. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Franklin city has 3.1 times the land area of nearby Baldwin town (3.22 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Franklin land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Franklin

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Franklin. Check the St. Mary Parish geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Southern Holocene Meander Belts setting

Southern Holocene Meander Belts belongs to Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Which current elevation and drainage records distinguish the tract from nearby swales, levees or river terraces?

03

Check the route, beyond Baldwin

Baldwin is 4.7 miles northwest of the Franklin reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Franklin
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Franklin?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in St. Mary Parish. Franklin’s 9.96 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Franklin property in Southern Holocene Meander Belts?+

No. Southern Holocene Meander Belts is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Franklin boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Baldwin as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 4.7 miles northwest of Franklin’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Franklin?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
