Between 2001 and 2005, Franciszka
Szymakowska occupied herself with the drawing of a clean, coloured geological map of Poland, which would consist of eleven different sheets. She died in 2007, and was not able to finish her work. Szymakowska's map was printed in its original scale (1:5000) in 2014 to

Towards the end of her life, the geological maps that she had drawn were incorporated in a collective Polish geological mapping effort to make the
Geological Map of Poland on a small scale (1:50000). Her maps were used for the areas covering the Polish Carpathians, including the regions of Osielec,

Franciszka
Szymakowska is best remembered for her very detailed geological maps. During those times, most geological images and maps were drawn with pencils and colours by hand. Her graphical talent allowed her to create detailed and clear images that accompanied her work that are still used today.

Before obtaining her doctoral degree, Szymakowska had already published multiple single first-author articles, and had been involved in many collaborations, for which she mainly worked on the stratigraphy. She received her PhD in natural sciences on 20 June 1970, and in 1973 she was appointed
