1959 Map of Frankfort East

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Frankfort and its eastern suburbs are shown here during a period of significant post-war expansion, with numerous residential developments such as Franklin Acres, Bon Air Hills, and Indian Hills emerging. The state capital's footprint is defined by the deep oxbow of the Kentucky River, while the surrounding landscape is marked by the meandering paths of North Fork Elkhorn Creek and South Fork Elkhorn Creek. A striking natural landmark, The Backbone, sits just north of the city where the creek forms a nearly complete loop.
