Florence sits along the eastern bank of the Illinois River, serving as a key crossing point where the Old Hwy Rd meets the water. The landscape transitions sharply from the river's floodplains, marked by Big Blue Island and Ferry Lake, into the high, dissected bluffs to the east. This upland area is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Ellis Family Cem, Mitchell Family Cem, and Sears Cem, suggesting a long history of rural settlement and deep genealogical roots in the region.
