About this map

Newberry and Archer anchor this Alachua and Levy County borderland, revealing a landscape defined by small settlements and numerous karst depressions. The area is characterized by an array of ephemeral and permanent water bodies, including Watermelon Pond, Blue Pete Lake, and Horseshoe Pond, which likely reflect the local water table within the limestone geology.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the sites of several community landmarks, notably Saint Peter's Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Saint Mark Cem. The transition between the northern town of Newberry and the southern settlement of Archer is marked by a grid of rural roads and scattered hamlets like Half Moon and Pinesville. This 2015 data reflects the established transportation corridors of the region, including SW Archer Rd and the legacy of the Public Land Survey System township and range boundaries.
