About this map

Florence serves as the primary hub of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the intersection of FM 487 and the modern corridor of Old State Hwy 195. The town's grid remains compact, centered around W Main St and Story Ave, while the surrounding countryside is defined by the winding drainages of S Salado Cr and Berry Cr. To the southwest, the small settlement of Andice marks a secondary point of historical interest, surrounded by family-named terrain like Barnett Knob and Tucker Knob.

Tracing the rural road network reveals several historic burial grounds, including Smart Cem and Wesley Chapel Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Williamson County. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Morrison Ridge down toward the seasonal waterways of Pecan Branch and Schoolhouse Hollow, reflecting a ranching and agricultural landscape that has maintained its rural character into the 21st century.
