About this map

Paynes Prairie dominates the central landscape of this 2012 survey, illustrating the unique hydrologic character of the Alachua Sink region. The map highlights the historic town of Micanopy, showing its well-preserved street grid and the Micanopy Historic Cem at its southern edge. To the north, the suburban expansion of Gainesville is evident in developments like Robinson Heights, Idylwild, and Malore Gardens.

A network of local settlements including Tacoma and Kirkwood flank the southern transport corridors, while recreational and natural features such as Camp Wauberg and Wauberg Lake provide insight into the area's land use. The presence of both the Oak Ridge Cem and the central historic cemetery offers significant value for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Alachua County. The map provides a clear picture of how modern residential pockets have integrated into a landscape defined by significant water bodies like Ledwith Lake and Chacala Pond.
