About this map

Santa Fe Community College serves as a central hub for the western expansion of the area, anchoring a landscape that blends academic infrastructure with established residential pockets. Subdivisions like Chantilly Acres, Rutledge, and Suburban Heights illustrate the suburban character of the region during this era. The map reveals a significant concentration of memorial sites and burial grounds, including Mount Nebo Cem, Morning Star Cem, and West Hills Memorial Gardens, which are critical for local genealogical research.

Aviation and recreation are prominent features, with Gleim Field Airport and Link Field Airport located near the University of Florida Experimental Farm. The natural topography is marked by the distinct Devils Mill Hopper and the low-lying Hogtown Prairie, while waterways like Turkey Cr and Blues Cr drain the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transport is dominated by the diagonal corridor of Interstate 75 and a dense network of numbered avenues and lanes that define the modern street grid of western Alachua County.
