1959 Map of Frankfort West

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Kentucky River loops through the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the character of Frankfort and its suburbs as they stood in the late 1950s. The seat of state government is clearly marked by the State Capitol and Capitol Heights, while the surrounding hills accommodate postwar residential growth in Thistleton Heights and Cavelawn. This era of development is captured in the presence of the Capitol City Airport and a Drive-in Theater along the highway, illustrating the mid-century shift toward automotive-focused infrastructure.
