1979 Map of Floris

About this map

The settlement of Floris serves as the central hub of this northern Davis County landscape during the late 1970s. The town's connection to the larger regional economy is defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, while an Old Railroad Grade to the south indicates changing transportation patterns over time. The terrain is deeply carved by an extensive network of waterways, including Soap Creek, Chequest Creek, and the Fox River, which dictate the placement of rural roads and homesteads.
