About this map

The Santa Fe River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, defining the border between Columbia and Alachua counties. Near its banks, the region is punctuated by subterranean hydrography, featuring Columbia Spring, Hornsby Spring, and the curiously named Suck Hole. The settlement of High Springs serves as a central hub, where a dense grid of streets meets the crossing of major transportation corridors, including M L King Blvd.

Further east and south, the terrain rises toward Underwood Hill and Spring Hill, giving way to a more rural pattern of section lines and named roads. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous burial sites, from the centrally located High Springs Cem and Pine Hills Cem to the more outlying Asberry Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and Cathcart Cem. This survey also documents the smaller settlements of Traxler, Buda, and the northern reaches of Alachua, linked by historic thoroughfares like Old Bellamy Rd.
