About this map

Frankfort and its eastern suburbs spread across the Kentucky River valley, where the water carves deep bends at Saffells Bend and Big Eddy. This 2019 survey captures the capital city's modern footprint, including the campus of Kentucky State University and the extensive grounds of the Frankfort Cemetery. Moving away from the urban center, the landscape transitions into the rolling Bluegrass horse country, dotted with smaller communities such as Jett, Duckers, and Millville.

Hydrological features dominate the outlying areas, particularly the winding path of Elkhorn Creek and its branches, which are crossed by landmarks like the South Trimble Memorial Bridge. The map serves as a vital tool for genealogists, pinpointing local burial sites including Greenhill Cemetery and Cook Cemetery, while documenting the precise boundary line between Franklin and Woodford counties. Natural landmarks like The Backbone highlight the region's distinct topography alongside modern recreational spaces like Capitol View Park.
