2009 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort serves as the primary hub of this Marshall County landscape, situated where the Black Vermillion River and Little Timber Creek meet. The town's grid is well-defined, transitioning into a rural network of roads like Valley Rd and Ridge Rd that navigate the rolling terrain. To the southwest lies the settlement of Barret, positioned near a sharp bend in the river. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting several burial grounds including Frankfort Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, Wells Cemetery, and Barrett Cemetery. The drainage patterns are intricate, defined by waterways such as Robidoux Creek, Clear Fork, and Dog Walk Creek, which likely influenced the early placement of farmsteads and transport routes through the Kansas countryside.
