1966 Map of Gainesville West

About this map

The Arredondo Grant area west of Gainesville is captured here in the mid-1960s, a landscape defined by its distinctive karst topography and academic growth. The geological character of the region is centered on the Devils Mill Hopper and Warren Cave, while the presence of the University of Florida Agricultural Experimental Station and University of Florida Experimental Farm highlights the city's expanding educational footprint. Residential development is seen pushing westward through new tracts like Suburban Heights and Beville Heights, bordering the traditional crossroads and small community centers. Local institutions such as Greater Liberty Hill Ch and Westside Sch serve these growing neighborhoods. Industrial and infrastructure markers, including the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Stengel Airport in the south, anchor the era's local economy and transport network.
