2018 Map of Saint Francis

About this map

The S Fork Republican River defines the lower third of this landscape as it flows past Saint Francis, the county seat of Cheyenne County. This 2018 survey illustrates a classic High Plains settlement pattern where the town is centered on a grid of numbered streets like 1st St and 4th St, as well as named thoroughfares such as Whittier Ave and W Spencer St. Several burial grounds are documented here, including the Zion Evangelical Cem to the northwest and the Grand Army of the Republic Cem north of the river, offering precise locations for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous intermittent drainage systems such as Plum Cr, Fish Cr, and Cleveland Run which all feed into the river valley. Modern infrastructure like the Cheyenne County Municipal Airport sits on the southern terrace above the river, contrasting with the established township and range divisions of t3s r40w.
