County 911 maps to aid county travel and new addresses
County residents will soon receive maps designed for easier travel on county roads as address changes roll out to support an enhanced 911 system. Roads will be named by a grid system with north south routes mirroring Franklin County and east west routes numbered 100 to 2400. The maps should be available within weeks at the county engineer's office.
