2018 Map of Gainesville East

About this map

Gainesville serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, showcasing the city's eastward expansion and its integration with the surrounding Alachua County landscape. The eastern reaches of the Univ of Florida campus transition into dense residential neighborhoods like Lincoln Estates and Kincaid Hills, while the prominent Gainesville Regional Airport dominates the northeast. The geography is defined by a series of wetlands and water bodies, including Hatchet Creek and the marshy expanses of Gum Root Swamp, which drain toward the shores of Newnans Lake. Several established burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem and Fairbanks Cem, provide important landmarks for genealogical research. The map also captures smaller communities like Fairbanks and Paradise, illustrating the network of roads and corridors that connect these outlying settlements to the urban core.
