2019 Map of Florence

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and state boundary dividing the Kentucky and Indiana hillsides in this 2019 survey. Along the southern banks, the community of Warsaw is defined by its position near the mouth of Craigs Creek, while the settlement of Florence sits further west near the river's bend. The landscape is heavily characterized by a series of prominent finger ridges, including McCreary Ridge, Scott Ridge, and Beatty Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads and the location of high-ground settlements like Pleasant Ridge. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Antioch Cem near the town of Antioch and the Quercus Grove Cem to the west. The map illustrates a deeply dissected topography where numerous tributaries such as Log-Lick Cr and Turtle Cr have carved the terrain, creating a complex network of hollows and ridges that have shaped local transport and settlement patterns for generations.
