About this map

Santa Fe Lake and the town of Melrose anchor this 2018 survey, which captures the lake-studded geography where Alachua, Bradford, Clay, and Putnam counties converge. The community of Melrose is home to the Eliam Cem of Melrose Florida, while surrounding rural areas include smaller settlements like Beckhamtown, Earleton, and Campville. The landscape is a mosaic of smaller water bodies such as Lake Melrose, Black Lake, and Lake Winnott, interspersed with distinct lowland features like Fowlers Prairie and Morans Prairie.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial sites across the terrain, including Nelson Starke Cem and Waters Cem. Transportation is characterized by a network of local routes like Logging Rd and the presence of the Sanders Ranch Airport. To the south, the headwaters of Little Orange Creek wind through Orange Creek Camp Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this North Central Florida region.
