2020 Map of Frankfort

About this map

The rolling hills of northwest Alabama meet the waters of Cedar Creek Reservoir and the Russellville Reservoir in this study of the landscape south of the Colbert-Franklin county line. Near the northern reach of the city of Russellville, the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches, including Duncan Creek and Willis Branch, which carve through the plateau. Local history is etched into the road network, notably along Old Chickasaw Boundary Road, which follows a historical demarcation through the woods. Settlement patterns are sparse but established, centered on small communities like Crooked Oak and Jonesboro. The area is notably dotted with small family and community burial grounds, such as Antioch Cemetery and Jonesboro Cemetery, alongside landmarks like Burnt Church, providing valuable data points for genealogical research in this part of Franklin County.
