About this map

The Kentucky River carves a winding path through this portion of Franklin County, defining the landscape around the community of Swallowfield. In this 2013 survey, the area's rural character is marked by the presence of the Frankfort Fish Hatchery along Elkhorn Creek and several long-standing local landmarks that speak to the region's agricultural and civil history. The road network connects small nodes like Peaks Mill and Elmville, following the natural drainage of numerous branches such as Sulphur Lick Creek and Long Branch.

Cultural history is preserved in sites like the Switzer Covered Bridge near the town of Switzer and the Peaks Mill Church Cemetery. Water-powered industrial heritage is evident at Tacketts Mill, while the terrain is defined by prominent rises including Vernon Ridge and Indian Gap Hill. The map also captures several family-named roads and landmarks, including Knights Bridge and Grugin Cemetery, providing valuable data for tracing local genealogy and land use.
