2010 Map of Florence

About this map

Warsaw and Florence sit on opposite banks of the Ohio River, connected by the historical Warsaw and Florence Ferry and anchored by the massive Markland Dam. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including McCreary Ridge and Hominy Ridge, where small rural communities like Quercus Grove and Antioch emerged along winding mountain roads. This 2010 survey documents the local transit network and land use at the turn of the decade, showing how the river remains the primary geographic organizer for both Indiana and Kentucky. Genealogists will find notable burial grounds such as Antioch Cemetery and Bark Works Cemetery tucked into the highlands, while the valley floor is shaped by the confluence of Craigs Creek and Log Lick Creek. The map captures a moment when traditional river crossings like the ferry persisted alongside the modern industrial presence of the dam infrastructure.
