1970 Map of Frankfort West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Kentucky River winds sharply through the eastern edge of this region, carving deep bends near the state's center of government in Frankfort. This 1970 survey captures the city's western expansion, showing the industrial and civic footprint of landmarks like the State Capitol, the Museum, and the Capital City Airport. Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into the steep ridges and narrow valleys of Devils Hollow and Pea Ridge, where the Louisville and Nashville Railroad follows the circuitous course of the North Fork Benson Creek.
