1970 Map of Frankfort West

About this map

The Kentucky River winds sharply through the eastern portion of this quadrangle, framing the western reaches of the state capital. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad follows the tight meanders of Benson Creek, a corridor that historically dictated the movement of goods and people between the river valley and the interior. Rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and several country houses of worship, including Mt Zion Ch and North Benson Ch. In the south, the village of Bridgeport sits near the crossing of South Benson Creek.
