Connecting Visitors with Recreation, Local Heritage, and Community Destinations

Overview

The Town of Franklin has a wide range of outdoor recreation—from hiking and snowmobiling to cycling, camping, and lake access—but those opportunities are spread across a large rural landscape. Green Goat Maps developed outdoor kiosks that help visitors understand where they can go, what activities are appropriate at different locations, and how recreation connects with the community's cultural landscape.

A tri-panel brochure for the Town of Franklin, showcasing recreational opportunities, cultural heritage, and natural attractions. The left panel highlights local history, including traditional Haudenosaunee outdoor recreation, while the center panel features a detailed map of parks, easements, and wild forests. The right panel provides information on specific sites like Kate Mountain Park and Buck Pond Campground, along with Leave No Trace principles and outdoor essentials.

Scope of Work

To meet the needs of the community, Green Goat Maps was contracted to map recreation assets including trails, campgrounds, parks, and cycling routes; clearly communicate permitted uses; feature destinations such as Kate Mountain Park and Buck Pond Campground; incorporate content related to the Haudenosaunee and the Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center in Onchiota; and design durable outdoor kiosk panels.

Key Deliverables

Large-format kiosk panels combine recreation mapping, visitor guidance, and cultural interpretation. Installations at locations including Franklin Town Hall and Kate Mountain Park place information where residents and visitors are already making decisions about where to go.

Challenges & Solutions

The Town needed to represent several unrelated recreation types alongside cultural information without creating an inventory of disconnected attractions. Green Goat Maps organized the information geographically and thematically so visitors could understand both destinations and appropriate uses.

Results & Client Value

Franklin gained durable visitor resources that make recreation opportunities more visible while providing context about the people and places that shape the community.
