About this map

Paynes Prairie dominates this section of Alachua County, where the sprawling wetlands and the Alachua Sink reflect the unique hydrology of the North Florida landscape. The town of Micanopy sits at the southern edge, its layout preserved alongside the Micanopy Historic Cem. Moving north toward Gainesville, the terrain transitions from the open water of Wauberg Lake and Chacala Pond to the residential outskirts of Robinson Heights.

Smaller settlements like Tacoma and Kirkwood align with the transit corridors cutting across the marshy lowlands. The intricate water system is further detailed by features such as Camps Canal and the River Styx, while the Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trl and various preserve trails indicate the area's conversion from industrial or rail use to conservation and recreation. This map documents a region where historic town centers remain distinct despite the proximity of growing urban centers.
