1994 Map of Gainesville West

About this map

San Felasco Hammock State Preserve dominates the northwestern landscape, preserving a massive limestone-rich woodland before it gives way to the suburban expansion of western Alachua County. This mid-1990s survey illustrates the distinct boundary between the wild terrain of Sanchez Prairie and the rapidly developing neighborhoods like Chantilly Acres, West Hills, and Shannon Wood. The geography is defined by significant karst features, most notably the Devils Mill Hopper State Geological Site, a deep sinkhole that serves as a focal point for local geological study.
