1966 Map of Orange Heights

About this map

Newnans Lake dominates the southwestern quadrant of this Alachua County landscape, where the shoreline is defined by the Sunland Center State Park and the Newnans Lake Homesites. The interior terrain is a mosaic of hydrologic systems including Gum Root Swamp and Saluda Swamp, which feed into Hatchet Creek and Lochloosa Creek. The Arredondo Grant Boundary runs through the center of the sheet, reflecting the area's complex land-tenure history from the colonial era. Transportation is anchored by the Seaboard Air Line railroad, which passes through the village of Orange Heights in the northeast. Further south, the rural settlement of Windsor serves as a local hub near Providence Ch, while the northern reaches are preserved within the Austin Cary Memorial Forest.
