Franklin County by land and water

The Census records 10.4 square miles of water within Franklin County, or 3.5% of its total area. That share is close to Franklin County’s 3.5%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Franklin County has 66 times the land area of nearby Mount Vernon town (4.31 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Camp County, Delta County, Hopkins County, Red River County, Titus County, Wood County within Texas. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Franklin County 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 County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Franklin County. The county includes 2 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Northern Post Oak Savanna setting

Northern Post Oak Savanna belongs to East Central Texas Plains. How do the parcel's open areas, woodland and existing drainage paths relate to its access and intended use? The wider county also reaches South Central Plains; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon is 0.3 miles west of the Franklin County 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?

Does Northern Post Oak Savanna describe all of Franklin County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 4 regional units; Northern Post Oak Savanna is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.

Can I request an offer without being near Franklin County?+
