About this map

The town of Frankfort serves as the central hub of this Marshall County landscape, where the Black Vermillion River winds through a complex network of tributaries. The topography is defined by the sharp incisions of local waterways such as Robidoux Cr and Little Timber Cr against a grid of rural roads with evocative names like Tumbleweed Rd and Wildcat Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties at sites like Calvary Cem north of town, or follow the river south to the settlement of Barret. The land south of Frankfort is particularly water-rich, featuring the Cedar Cr and Clear Fork junctions. This survey illustrates a modern rural layout that remains deeply anchored by its original river-oriented settlements and quiet country burial grounds, including the Wells Cem and Barrett Cem.
