About this map

The Santa Fe River winds across the northwestern corner of this Alachua County landscape, marking the natural boundary between Alachua and Columbia counties. This hydrologically unique area is characterized by subterranean water features such as Hornsby Spring, Columbia Spring, and the aptly named Suck Hole. The settlement of High Springs serves as a central hub, where the local street grid is defined by its rail history along NW Railroad Ave and SE Railroad Ave.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites scattered across the township, including High Springs Cem, Asberry Cem, and the Cathcart Cem near the Alachua border. Historically significant routes like Old Bellamy Rd cut through the northeastern section near Traxler, reflecting long-established travel patterns. The elevation rises at Underwood Hill and Spring Hill, providing a contrast to the river lowlands and the recreational paths of the River Rise Preserve State Park Trl.
