About this map

Agricultural lands at the border of Clark and Madison Counties define this landscape, where the small settlement of Florence sits near the headwaters of several critical drainages. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including Jones Ditch, Phifer Ditch, and Westwater Ditch, which support the surrounding farms. The Little Miami River and Paint Creek trace through the township, marking the natural hydrology amidst the grid of country roads.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous rural burial sites scattered across the survey. Notable locations for researchers include Williams Chapel Cem, Pancake Cem, and Saint Charles Cem. The map also identifies the Infirmary Cem in the northeast, providing a direct link to the community's former social and health infrastructure. These sites, often situated near family-named roads like Bonner Rd and Correll Maxey Rd, anchor the 21st-century topography to its pioneer and 19th-century roots.
