About this map

The settlement of Arredondo and the surrounding prairies south of Gainesville reveal a landscape defined by its karst topography and deep-rooted community foundations. This modern survey details the significant geological depressions of the region, including Hickory Sink and the vast wetland expanses of Hogtown Prairie and Paynes Prairie. These natural features have long dictated the development patterns of Alachua County, with roads and homesteads skirting the edges of the numerous prairies like Grass Prairie and Kanapaha Prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as the Kanapaha Presbyterian Church and its associated Cemetery, along with the Hopewell Cemetery near Wacahoota. The map also captures the aviation footprint of the area at Peach Orchard Airport near the community of Peach Orchard. The network of modern trails, such as the Archer Braid Trail, illustrates how the historical corridors between Archer and the city are being repurposed for contemporary use while maintaining the original settlement names.
