2010 Map of Floris

About this map

Floris and the surrounding Davis County countryside are defined by the intricate dendritic drainage systems of the Chequest Creek and its many branches. The settlement of Floris sits near the northern boundary, anchored by the Floris Post Office, while the hamlet of Shunem is located further south. This landscape is notably dense with small family and fraternal burial grounds, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. These include the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Jay Cemetery, and the dual-named Stark Cemetery and Pewter Cemetery sites. The terrain is divided by a grid of rural routes such as Floris Rd and Quain Ave, which navigate the rises between the South Chequest Creek and the Fox River at the map's southern edge. This 2010 survey reflects a deeply established agricultural community where early 19th-century land divisions and family names remain visible in the placement of landmarks like Hooper Field.
