1966 Map of Gainesville West

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

San Felasco Hammock State Preserve and the unique sinkhole formation of Devils Mill Hopper State Geological Site anchor the northwestern landscape of this Alachua County survey. The map records the suburban expansion westward from Gainesville, where residential developments like Chantilly Acres, Suburban Heights, and Beville Heights were encroaching upon agricultural and prairie lands. Historical land patterns are still visible through the Arredondo Grant Boundary, which cuts across the terrain, while the University of Florida Agricultural Experimental Station and Experimental Farm highlight the area's academic and scientific character. Notable local landmarks include Warren Cave and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, alongside several rural spiritual sites such as Mt Nebo Cem and Pine Grove Ch. The low-lying wetlands of Sanchez Prairie and Hogtown Prairie illustrate the natural drainage systems that have historically shaped the region's growth.
