1966 Map of Gainesville West

About this map

San Felasco State Preserve dominates the northern landscape of this Alachua County quadrangle, where the transition from dense hammock to open wetlands like Sanchez Prairie is clearly defined. The area around Gainesville shows significant suburban expansion, with developments such as Suburban Heights and Beville Heights pushing westward. A notable geological feature is the Devils Millhopper, protected within its own state geological site. The presence of the University of Florida Agricultural Experimental Station and the University of Florida Experimental Farm highlights the region's academic and agricultural heritage. Further south, the terrain opens into Hogtown Prairie, while smaller communities like Los Trancos Woods and Rutledge are scattered throughout the wooded sections. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Mt Nebo Cem and Greater Liberty Hill Ch.
