Downtown Florence is located
on a gentle hill overlooking the Tennessee River. This trellised
historical district represents an affluent neighborhood. People have
taken advantage of this physical feature. |

In the Bend of the River area west of
Florence there are many limestone deposits. This causes sinkholes
that fill with water and create wetlands. These were created naturally
by underground erosion. |
