2012 Map of High Springs SW

About this map

The Santa Fe River carves a winding path through this northern Florida landscape, characterized by a concentration of freshwater springs and scattered rural settlements. Known for its karst topography, the area features numerous named hydrological points such as Ginnie Spring, Poe Spring, and Lilly Spring, along with the prominent Rum Island mid-river. Small communities and named locales including Neals, Clark, and Buda are connected by a grid of county roads and lanes. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Mount Pleasant Cem and Nobel Hill Cem near Nobel Hill provides specific locations for tracing family heritage. The map also documents several interior water bodies like Bagget Lake and Fish Pond, illustrating the typical wetland patterns of the Alachua region in the early 21st century.
