1966 Map of Micanopy

About this map

The expansive wetlands of Paynes Prairie dominate this mid-century Alachua County landscape, illustrating a complex hydrological system of sinks and ponds south of Gainesville. The map details the transition between these seasonal wet prairies and the established upland settlements like the historic town of Micanopy, which sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Significant historical land tenure is marked by the large Spanish land grants, including the Arredondo Grant and the Moses E Levy Grant, which overlay the terrain.
