1924 Map of Frankfort

Rural life in the early twentieth century is mapped in detail across the uplands, from the cluster at Forks of Elkhorn to the numerous small district schools like Choateville School and McGinnis School. Significant early transport corridors are documented through the presence of the Shryocks Ferry crossing and a network of turnpikes, including the Louisville Pike and Frankfort and Georgetown Pike, which supported the region's agricultural commerce between the river and the rail hubs at Lawrenceburg and Alton Station.
