About this map

Saint Francis serves as the focal point of this Cheyenne County landscape, situated along the banks of the South Fork Republican River. The town's grid is bounded by River St and Valley St, with key local hubs such as the Cheyenne County Fairgrounds and the Cheyenne County Municipal Airport defining its northern and southern outskirts. The surrounding High Plains terrain is dissected by numerous seasonal waterways, including Fish Creek, Cherry Creek, and Plum Creek, which drain toward the river valley.

Local history and genealogy researchers can identify several significant burial sites, including the Zion Cemetery to the northwest and the GAR Cemetery near the river. The map details the rural road network, with numbered county routes like Co Rd 12 and Co Rd T providing access to the various sections of this agricultural region. The inclusion of the West Fork Sand Creek at the southern edge highlights the area's intricate drainage patterns.
