2022 Map of Florence SE

About this map

Florence sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the foothills meet the irrigation infrastructure necessary for agriculture in Fremont County. The map details the complex water management systems of the region, including the Minnequa Canal and the Ciperts and Chapson Ditch, which redirect local water sources for industrial and residential use. This 2022 survey traces the varied terrain south of the Arkansas River valley, defined by numerous waterways such as Hardscrabble Cr, Newlin Cr, and Mineral Cr that carve through the landscape towards Tennant Gulch. For those researching local family history, the Union Highland Cem is clearly identified near the northern boundary, while the Florence City Water Reservoirs mark a critical piece of the local utility history. Farther south, the small community of Sikes appears near the border with Custer County, situated along Co HWY 298 and Fourmile Cr.
