Florence anchors this portion of the Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising above the surrounding plains. The settlement is defined by its grid of Main Ave, Kline Ave, and numbered streets, surrounded by an expansive network of rural section lines such as 156th St and 442nd Ave. For genealogists, the map reveals several points of historical interest, including the New Helgen Cem within the town limits, and the more remote Dexter Cem and Helgen Cem to the north. A poignant landmark, the Gautsch Child Grave, sits near 159th St. The hydrology of Codington County is well represented by several prominent water bodies including Dry Lake and Lake Nicholson, alongside smaller wetlands like Sumner Slough, illustrating the post-glacial landscape of the region.
