About this map

Frankfort serves as the western anchor of this Clinton County landscape, where the city's residential expansions like East Park, Kentwood, and Wilshire meet the expansive agricultural fields of central Indiana. The terrain is defined by a intricate network of drainage and waterways, including the S Fork Wildcat Cr and Kilmore Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road grids. Small rural centers such as Michigantown, Boyleston, and Avery are connected by E Michigantown Rd, reflecting a traditional midwestern settlement pattern centered on rail and road junctions.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented throughout the townships, such as Hopewell Cemeteries, Old Whiteman Cem, and the Layman Cem. These sites, along with smaller landmarks like Old Liberty Cem and Brandon Cem, offer specific points of interest for family history research in a landscape where the rural fabric remains largely intact amidst the modern county road system.
