1961 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort serves as the bustling hub of this Indiana landscape, where the concentrated street grid reveals a community deeply integrated with its transportation infrastructure. The city's growth is clearly marked by the convergence of the Conrail and Norfolk and Western Railway, alongside significant civic landmarks like the County Hospital and County Fairgrounds. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Wildcat Creek and Kilmore Creek, which cut through the agricultural surroundings of Ross and Washington townships. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Jefferson and Bunnel cemeteries to the rural crossroads of Mattix Corner. This 1961 edition, updated with late-1970s revisions, illustrates the expansion of the Frankfort Municipal Airport and the development of suburban features like the Wesley Manor complex.
