River meanders

The map
About this Frankfort map poster
Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, is defined by the Kentucky River, which loops tightly through the city in a series of meanders. On a map, the old downtown fills one of these bends, and its small grid is almost enclosed by water. On the opposite side, the State Capitol sits in its own neighbourhood, and residential streets climb the wooded bluffs above the valley.
The city is small for a state capital, and the river valley partly explains why. Steep slopes limit where streets can go. Frankfort Cemetery, on a bluff overlooking the river, holds the grave of Daniel Boone. The surrounding area is part of Kentucky's bourbon country, and Buffalo Trace Distillery lies on the river at the city's edge.
A Frankfort map poster is mainly about that river. Its bends create strong curves across the frame, and the downtown grid sits neatly inside one of them, with bridges stitching the city together. The contrast between the flat bottomland and the winding hill roads adds depth, even in plain black and white.

Downtown in the bend
The historic grid of downtown sits inside a river bend. Bridges connect it to the rest of the city across the water.
Capitol and bluffs
The Capitol neighbourhood lies across the river from downtown. On the bluffs around the valley, winding roads follow the steep ground.

Why Frankfort
A map that means something
State workers, Kentucky State University graduates and bourbon-trail visitors all have reasons to keep Frankfort on the wall. The meandering river makes it one of the more graphic capital city maps in the country.
