2021 Map of Frankfort

About this map

Frankfort and the surrounding plains of the Cook Co Will Co border region are captured here during a period of suburban expansion into traditional agricultural lands. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem, Twining Cem, and the Saint John's United Church of Christ Cem at the southern edge, which serve as historical anchors for early family settlements. These sites contrast with modern infrastructure like Meadow Creek Airport and Wix Airport, reflecting the area's transition. Waterways like Hickory Cr, Prairie Cr, and Forked Cr traverse the township, often running parallel to established routes like W Sauk Trl and W Monee Manhattan Rd. The map illustrates how residential developments such as Richton Park and Matteson have integrated with the natural drainage systems and historical road grids of Will County.
