1957 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Florence stands at the confluence of the Cottonwood River and Doyle Creek, serving as a vital rail hub in the late 1950s. The town's grid is dense with landmarks including Grandview Park and a central Water Tank, while the surrounding landscape is marked by the heavy infrastructure of the Santa Fe and Atchison Topeka lines. Beyond the town center, the map reveals a rural community supported by isolated schoolhouses and churches, such as School No 51 and Summit Ch. Evidence of early petroleum exploration appears via scattered Oil Wells across the Summit and Doyle regions. The terrain transitions from river bottomlands to higher ground, where a notable Railroad Grade and family-named water sources like Lee Spring define the property boundaries and local geography of Marion County.
