1968 Map of Newberry

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect in this Alachua County study, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The town of Newberry serves as a primary hub, featuring a High Sch and a Landing Field, while the smaller settlement of Haile is defined by its extensive mining operations. Numerous Quarry sites and a Tipple underscore the region's reliance on mineral extraction during this era. Scattered communities like Jonesville, Wade, and Forest Grove provide a glimpse into the local social fabric, centered around institutions like Jonesville Ch and Oak Dale Ch. The topography is marked by a distinctive sinkhole-rich landscape, where the interplay of limestone mining and traditional agriculture shaped the development of northern Florida in the late 1960s.
