About this map

Michigantown and the surrounding Clinton County agricultural lands appear here as they were during the early 1960s, with later updates showing the expansion of the Frankfort city limits. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear road grid and several notable family and community burial grounds, including the Old Liberty Cem, Old Whiteman Cem, and Brandon Cem. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor serves as a primary industrial spine, connecting smaller hubs like Avery and Boyleston to the larger centers.

Community life centers on landmarks such as Clinton Central High School and the Radio Tower (WILO), while the northern portion of the quadrangle is drained by the winding Kilmore Creek and the South Fork Wildcat Creek. This survey captures the transition of the region’s rural character as modern infrastructure like the Drive-in Theater in Boyleston and the neighborhoods of Kentwood and Wilshire began to emerge near the eastern edge of Frankfort.
