2010 Map of Florence

About this map

Empeyville and the village of Florence serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Oneida County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Salmon River and Florence Creek. The map documents a rural network of named intersections like Forty Six Corners, Hanifin Corners, and Thompson Corners, suggesting a long-standing settlement pattern based on road junctions and local farmsteads. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites, including the Stanford Cemetery, Greely Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. Industrial history is represented by Leisher Mill near the northern boundary, while the Oneida City Reservoir and Swancott Lookout Tower mark more modern infrastructure developments. The terrain remains largely dominated by water systems, with McCarthys Lake, Powlish Pond, and numerous brooks like Maloney Brook and Furnace Creek draining the region around Wickwire Hill.
