About this map

Gainesville expansion dominates this 2021 survey, showing the residential and institutional growth westward into the Alachua County landscape. The map captures a high degree of suburban development in neighborhoods like Suburban Heights and Beville Heights, contrasted with the significant natural footprint of San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park to the north. Educational institutions are prominent fixtures of the local infrastructure, including the sprawling Santa Fe College and the City College-Gainesville Campus.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, such as Mount Nebo Cem and Morning Star Cem, while geological interests are represented by the distinctive Devils Mill Hopper. The map also details an extensive trail network for modern use, including the Archer Braid Trl and the San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park Trl, illustrating the region's commitment to preserving green space amidst urban sprawl.
