1966 Map of Gainesville East

About this map

The University of Florida campus and the growing street grid of Gainesville dominate this mid-1960s survey, showing a city in the midst of post-war expansion. The map details the institutional footprint of the region, from the sprawling Sunland Training Center to the University of Florida Beef Research Unit in the north. Settlement patterns are clearly defined by newer developments like Lincoln Estates and Carol Estates, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the Gainesville Municipal Airport.
