1970 Map of Frankfort East

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Kentucky River winds sharply through this 1970s landscape, framing the seat of state government and its surrounding valley. The State Capitol and the sprawling grounds of the Frankfort State Hospital and School anchor the urban core of Frankfort, while industrial expansion is evident along Industrial Rd near Jett. To the north, the dramatic ridge known as The Backbone is bypassed by the meandering Elkhorn Creek, which splits into the North Fork and South Fork at the community of Forks of Elkhorn. This period of the city's growth is captured through suburban developments in Indian Hills and Bon Air Hills. Infrastructure such as Lock and Dam No 4 and the Louisville and Nashville RR highlight the city's historic reliance on river and rail transport.
