2024 Map of Monteocha

About this map

The Santa Fe River forms a natural northern boundary for this portion of North Central Florida, where the Bradford Co Alachua Co line meets. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring large wetlands like Mud Swamp and the eponymous Monteocha Creek drainage system. The settlement of La Crosse anchors the northwestern corner, while the northern extent of Gainesville reaches into the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local history is preserved in sites like the Rhuda Branch Cem and Freedom Cem, which serve as landmarks amidst the rural road networks and the JSC CCC Woodlands. The map reveals a transition between established agricultural lands and the low-lying basins of Sunshine Lake and Trout Pond.
