About this map

Arredondo and the surrounding Alachua County landscape are defined by a mix of sinkhole topography and late-1960s infrastructure. The Seaboard Air Line railroad bisects the terrain, connecting small settlements and industrial operations like the local Quarry and Gravel Pit. The southern portion of the map transitions into the massive wetlands of Levy Lake and Paynes Prairie, areas where the water table is a dominant force on the landscape.

Genealogists and local historians will find several community landmarks, including the Kanapaha Cem and a cluster of churches such as Wesley Chapel and New Salem Ch. The influence of the Arredondo Grant Boundary suggests the area's deep colonial-era land division history. Notable recreation and transport hubs like the Gainesville Speedway and Stengel Airport illustrate the mid-century growth of the region just outside the urban core.
