2022 Map of Floris

About this map

Floris serves as the primary community in this section of Davis County, situated just south of Soap Creek near the junction of Co HWY j15. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Fox River and Chequest Creek, which carve intricate patterns through the township. This modern survey reveals a deeply rooted rural history preserved in its numerous family and community burial sites. Beyond the town limits, small settlements like Shunem appear alongside a remarkable density of named cemeteries including Wilson Cemetery, Pagett Cemetery, and Stark Cemetery. The map also identifies the isolated Cupp Grave in the south, suggesting a legacy of early pioneer settlement and family homesteads that persisted into the twenty-first century. A network of secondary roads and trails, such as Silver Trail and Oxen Trail, provides access to these remote reaches of the Iowa countryside.
