1966 Map of Gainesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The University of Florida campus and the sprawling city of Gainesville dominate this mid-century landscape, showing the intensive growth around the university and local healthcare infrastructure including the Veterans Administration Hospital and Alachua General Hospital. The 1966 fieldwork records a transition from the dense urban grid of the city center to the surrounding pine and cypress wetlands like Buck Bay and Potato Patch Bay. To the east, the Gainesville Regional Airport and the Sunland Training Center (State Hospital) mark the edge of development before the terrain drops toward the swampy margins of Newnans Lake. Transportation is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and the Old Grade Railroad, which intersect the north-south alignment of Waldo Road. Local history is preserved in established sites like Evergreen Cemetery and residential communities such as Lincoln Estates and Kincaid Hills.
