About this map

Lochloosa Lake and the northern reaches of Orange Lake anchor this 2018 survey of Alachua County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of wetlands and small ponds. The small settlements of Rochelle, Phifer, and Grove Park are situated along the SE Hawthorne Rd corridor, reflecting the historical rail-and-road alignment through the hammock lands. These hammocks, including Garrison Hammock and Little Garrison Hammock, represent elevated islands of vegetation within a broader watery expanse that includes Watson Prairie and Mosquito Bay.

Family history researchers will find several localized landmarks, including the Saint Paul Memorial Cem, Grove Park Cem, and Townsend Cem. The hydrography here is particularly intricate, featuring the River Styx and the man-made Camps Canal, which connects the major lakes. In the southwest, Micanopy Junction serves as a notable landmark near the edge of the prairie lands, illustrating the region's long-standing connection to local transit and hydrology.
