2014 Map of Florence

About this map

Florence and Sheffield anchor this 2014 survey of the Tennessee River corridor, illustrating the dense suburban development and industrial footprint across the Lauderdale and Colbert County line. The map captures the significant academic presence of the University of North Alabama and Heritage Christian University, alongside cultural landmarks like the Waumanona Mound near the riverbanks. The waterway itself is defined by major navigational features including Pickwick Lake, Wilson Lake, and the expansive Sevenmile Island. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous community burial grounds, such as Mt Calvary Cemetery, Underwood Cemetery, and the large Florence Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of East Florence and South Florence to the natural springs and hollows like Stewart Spring Hollow and Beaver Dam Creek Springs.
