Explore Francis, Utah, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Francis, Utah. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Utah or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Francis.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Francis asserts its presence through the quiet intersection of high-altitude meadows and the expansive, jagged horizon dominated by the distant Wasatch Range. It lies 10.7 miles northeast of Heber, UT (from Heber, UT: bearing 41°T), and is situated 2.2 miles south of Kamas. The landscape around Francis remains defined by the persistent, cold clarity of the Provo River, which meanders through the valley floor, while the nearby slopes of Lady Long Hollow provide a subtle, earthen rhythm to the terrain. Sunlight here possesses a particular, thin quality that turns the surrounding grasses into shades of pale gold and brittle bronze, especially as the shadows lengthen toward the dense canopy of the Wasatch National Forest. Locals often gather at Francis Park, a small patch of cultivated green that serves as a quiet anchor against the vast, rugged silence of the surrounding high-desert plateau.
Francis emerged from the pragmatic ambitions of early settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of this fertile basin, establishing a culture rooted in the steady, cyclical labor of ranching and farming. While the modern economy increasingly shifts toward the demands of neighboring recreational hubs, the identity of Francis remains tethered to its rural origins, marked by the frequent sight of livestock moving across fenced pastures. The nearby Jordanelle Reservoir acts as a modern punctuation mark in the landscape, reflecting the shifting priorities of a region that balances its traditional, agrarian heritage with the encroaching influence of contemporary development. Life in Francis maintains an understated pace, where the sound of the wind moving through the sagebrush carries more weight than the distant, intermittent hum of regional traffic.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
