1894 Map of Arredondo

About this map

Gainesville serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, depicted here during a period of significant expansion as a regional railroad hub. The city is positioned between the rugged sinkhole topography to the northwest and the expansive wetlands to the south. Distinctive geological features like the Devils Mill Hopper and Warren Cave illustrate the unique karst terrain of the region, while the vast Alachua Lake or Payne Prairie dominates the central map, showing the area before it was consistently drained for agriculture. The rail network is well-established, with the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad and the Florida Southern Railroad converging to move goods and passengers through settlements like Arredondo, Micanopy, and Fairbanks. Smaller communities such as Tacoma and Mayfield appear alongside numerous named ponds and prairies, offering a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns in late 19th-century Alachua County.
