About this map

Frankfort occupies a prominent position in this Ohio valley, situated at the confluence of North Fork Paint Creek and Oldtown Run. The landscape is a mix of agricultural bottomlands and rising hills, marked by the presence of a historical Indian Mound just south of the village. The village layout is concentrated along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which also serves the smaller community of Roxabell to the south.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including family-named cemeteries such as Ware Cem, Rowe Cem, and Mallow Cem, alongside community landmarks like Greenlawn Cem and the High Sch. The rural road network, featuring routes like Egypt Pike and Bush Mill Road, connects scattered farmsteads and rural congregations at Austin Chapel and Estel Chapel. The inclusion of a Gravel Pit and several stream crossings like Westfall Run reflect the local industry and hydrology of the Ross County countryside.
