2012 Map of Melrose

About this map

Santa Fe Lake and the smaller Lake Melrose dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the clustered community of Melrose serves as a hub near the Alachua county line. The map reveals a high density of cemeteries that speak to the area's genealogical history, including Eliam Cem of Melrose Florida and the family-named Nelson - Starke Cem. The topography is defined by its lacustrine character, with numerous water bodies like Lake Hutchinson, Lake Rosa, and Lake Rowan scattered throughout the pine-flatwoods and prairie landscape. To the south, smaller settlements like Beckhamtown and Rex are situated among agricultural tracts and features such as Fawlers Prairie. Local infrastructure includes distinct landmarks like the Melrose Water Association Tower and private aviation strips such as The Flying Horseman Airport and Sanders Ranch Airport.
