2021 Map of Monteocha

About this map

Monteocha and the rural outskirts of north Gainesville define this interior Florida landscape, where the Alachua and Bradford County line follows the winding course of the Santa Fe River. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrology, from the broad expanse of Mud Swamp in the north to the smaller basin of Sunshine Lake and the various branches of Monteocha Creek. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as the Rhuda Branch Cem and Freedom Cem, which reflect the community centers of this agricultural and wetland region. The map captures a high level of detail in the local road network, including numerous numbered routes like Co Rd 231 and Tree Farm Rd, illustrating the transition from the concentrated development in Gainesville to the smaller settlement of La Crosse.
