About this map

The Kentucky River snakes through the eastern edge of this modern survey, anchoring the state capital's government district near Buttimer Hill. The Franklin County Courthouse and the Supreme Court of Kentucky stand as prominent landmarks within the dense street grid of Frankfort. Westward, the landscape shifts into a complex network of ridges and drainages defined by South Benson Creek and its many tributaries, including Quire Br and Taylor Br.

Smaller residential clusters and crossroads like Bridgeport, Evergreen, and Benson are connected by a mix of established routes like Louisville Rd and more localized paths like Pea Ridge. Genealogists will find notable sites such as Choateville Church Cem and Sudduth Cem preserved among the hills. The presence of both the Capital City Airport and the High Point Farm Airport indicates the region's continued importance as a transportation and administrative hub for the Commonwealth.
