About this map

The Arredondo Grant Boundary provides a historic framework for this landscape southwest of Gainesville, where the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the settlements of Arredondo and Kanapaha. This mid-century survey, later updated with suburban expansion in the 1990s, illustrates a transition from rural Florida into a more developed corridor. Family and community history is anchored by the Kanapaha Cem, Elim Ch, and Wesley Chapel, alongside local landmarks like the Gainesville Speedway and Stengel Airport.

The hydrology of the Alachua region is prominent, dominated by the northern reaches of the Paynes Prairie State Preserve and the expanse of Levy Lake. Smaller features like Hickory Sink and Lake Kanapaha dot the karst-rich terrain. Large-scale infrastructure including a cross-map pipeline and the Sewage Disposal facility near Arredondo highlight the logistical growth of the county during this period.
