2018 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort and Monee anchor this landscape along the border of Will and Cook counties during a period of suburban expansion. The map reveals a transition from dense residential grids in the north to broader agricultural tracts and open space to the south. Local aviation history is well-represented by several facilities, including Frankfort Airport, Meadow Creek Airport, and Wix Airport, which are interspersed among the developing road networks. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, ranging from Pleasant Hill Cem near the northern border to Saint John's United Church of Christ Cem in the south. The natural drainage of the region is traced through the headwaters of Jackson Cr, Prairie Cr, and Forked Cr, while the Monee Reservoir serves as a prominent landmark for local recreation and water management.
