About this map

Francisco serves as a central hub in this section of Gibson County, where the street grid of W Main St and W Chestnut St meets the rural agricultural landscape. The township structure of t2s r10w and t2s r9w is clearly defined by a dense network of county roads, punctuated by local landmarks like the IOOF Cem and the Meade Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the smaller settlements of Somerville and Mackey, reflecting the historical clustering of rural populations along regional corridors.

The topography is shaped by a complex drainage system including W Fork Keg Cr, Halfmoon Cr, and the channelized Muddy Ditch. To the east, Kennedy Hill provides a distinct change in elevation, while the industrial heritage of the region is hinted at by the naming of Number Two Coalmine Rd. The presence of the Bottoms Brothers Airport near Somerville adds a modern logistical layer to this primarily agrarian landscape.
