1978 Map of St Francis

About this map

The South Fork Republican River and Republican River converge just north of St Francis, which serves as the primary hub of this high plains landscape. The town's layout is clearly defined, featuring the St Francis Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater on its southern outskirts. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including St Francis Cem, the G A R Cem, and Zion Cem, while the Fairground and a Golf Course highlight the community's established social infrastructure. Transportation patterns show a shift in the late 1970s, with the Burlington Northern line operating alongside remnants of an Old Railroad Grade. This topographical study captures the agricultural character of the region, where numerous spring-fed waterways like Fish Creek, Cleveland Run, and Cherry Creek carve through the terrain to feed the river valley.
