2012 Map of Frankford

About this map

The town of Frankford serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, situated at the junction of several local routes like Pike 50 and Pike 51. The surrounding rural territory is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Little Creek and the meandering Peno Creek which cuts across the eastern half of the map. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and genealogical layout of the region, where family and community heritage is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds such as Wright Cemetery, Biggs Cemetery, and Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The presence of the Martin School and the remote Mount Pisgah Cemetery in the southern reaches highlights the historical pattern of decentralized rural services that once supported the farming families along Clifty Fork and Sugar Creek.
