About this map

Paynes Prairie dominates the central landscape of this Alachua County study, illustrating the unique hydrology and geological depressions characteristic of north-central Florida. To the north, the southern edges of Gainesville show modern expansion through residential clusters like Idylwild and South Idylwild, alongside the City Coll Branch Campus. This area transitions from urban density into the significant basin of the prairie, where Alachua Sink and Sweetwater Br define the local drainage patterns.

The town of Micanopy sits at the southern edge, preserving its historic footprint with the Micanopy Historic Cem and nearby Oak Ridge Cem. Small, localized settlements such as Kirkwood, Tacoma, and Rocky Point are situated along the primary corridors of SR 25 and SR 331. The landscape is further defined by a high concentration of water bodies, including Newnans Lake, Wauberg Lake, and Chacala Pond, which are linked by man-made and natural waterways like Camps Canal and Prairie Cr.
