2012 Map of Florence

About this map

Florence stands as the central hub of this prairie landscape in Codington County, situated at the intersection of Co HWY-25 and the local grid. The town's layout is clearly defined by streets such as Main Ave and Thorson Ave, with a local Po serving as a community anchor. This 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography, where numerous glacial lakes and wetlands dot the terrain. To the south of the settlement lies the elongated basin of Dry Lake, while the western edge is marked by the waters of Grass Lake and Lake Nicholson. The distribution of rural cemeteries, including Dexter Cem in the north and the nearby New Helgen Cem, suggests the historical footprint of early homesteads and the deep-rooted community ties of Fuller Township. The landscape transitions into marshy lowlands at Sumner Slough, reflecting the typical hydrology of the South Dakota plains.
