2019 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort serves as the primary hub of activity in this portion of Ross County, situated along the banks of North Fork Paint Creek. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and small settlements, including Austin and Roxabell, connected by a dense network of early thoroughfares like Egypt Pike and Frankfort Clarksburg Pike. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Old Methodist Cem and Baptist Cem in the heart of town to smaller family or rural plots such as Mallow Cem and Stader Cem. The terrain is generally level near the creek valley, rising toward Lake Hill in the southeast. This map captures the modern footprint of these historic communities while preserving the locations of numerous 19th-century cemeteries and the original path of Old US 35.
