2015 Map of Alachua

About this map

Alachua serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, where the agricultural legacy of Alachua County is written across a grid of rural roads and established settlements. The historic site of Newnansville, once a prominent county seat, is preserved here alongside the Newnansville Cem, reflecting the early pioneer era before the railroad shifted the local economy toward the modern town center. The terrain is defined by its unique karst topography, featuring several significant water bodies such as Burnetts Lake, Sweet Water Lake, and Prairie Lake, as well as the flow of Mill Cr and Rocky Cr. To the northeast and southeast, the smaller communities of La Crosse and Hague mark the limits of this survey, connected by a network of state and local routes that have replaced older paths like Old Bellamy Rd. Numerous burial sites, including Antioch Cem and Old Thomas Cem, offer vital locations for genealogical research.
