2016 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort sits at the heart of this Ross County landscape, where the confluence of several small drainages meets the North Fork Paint Creek. The surrounding agricultural lands are dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Ware Cem to the north and Stader Cem near the settlement of Austin. These sites provide significant genealogical markers for the region's early residents. The transportation network is defined by the diagonal corridor of Old US-35, which cuts through the terrain near McCartney Run and Herrod Cr. Further south, the map illustrates the small community of Roxabell near Little Cr, showcasing a classic rural Ohio settlement pattern where small towns served as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads and school districts connected by routes like Egypt Pike.
