About this map

Kentucky State University stands at the heart of this landscape, overlooking the distinctive bend of the Kentucky River that defines the state capital's geography. The map illustrates a transition from the urban density of Frankfort to the surrounding limestone hills and ridges. To the west, the river winds past Saffells Bend and Big Eddy, while the terrain to the north and east is carved by Elkhorn Creek and its various branches. Notable landmarks like The Backbone highlight the region's geological character.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites such as Frankfort Cemetery, Greenhill Cemetery, and the more secluded Cook Cemetery near Millville. The map captures the suburban growth and small-town infrastructure of the mid-2010s, showing established neighborhoods like Indian Hills and Bon Air Hills, alongside the sprawling Capitol View Park. Transport networks are centered on the South Trimble Memorial Bridge and the convergence of routes near Jett.
