2023 Map of Florence

About this map

Florence and Osceola anchor this landscape along the border of Oneida and Lewis counties, where the Salmon River and its numerous tributaries like Finnegan Brook and West Fork Salmon River carve through the terrain. The map reveals a community structured by local industries and family heritage, seen in the location of Leisher Mill and a high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists can trace family names across several dedicated sites, including River Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Greely Cem. The geography is defined by prominent rises such as Mount Pleasant and Wickwire Hill, with the southern reaches featuring the settlement of Empeyville. A network of rural routes, including Co RD 68 and Co RD 44, connects these villages to landmarks like Saint Marys Church Cem and the waters of McCarthys Lake, illustrating a remote but well-connected rural economy.
