2022 Map of Frankfort East

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding course through this portion of the Bluegrass region, defining the capital city's landscape and providing a dramatic setting for the Supreme Court of Kentucky and Kentucky State University. The terrain is characterized by sharp relief and distinctive geomorphology, most notably at the narrow ridge known as The Backbone and the river bend at Big Eddy. Beyond the central bustle of Frankfort, the map documents a network of established suburban developments like Indian Hills and Bon Air Hills, which give way to the more rural character of Trumbo Bottom and the crossroads at Jett. To the south and east, the land transitions into rolling hills where South Elkhorn Creek and Glenns Creek drain toward the river, supporting small communities and historic burial sites such as the Cook Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens.
