About this map

The Santa Fe River and its various tributaries form a natural network across this Alachua County landscape, connecting water bodies like Hampton Lake and Lake Alto. The town of Waldo serves as a central hub, where the Waldo Canal and several major roads converge. The settlement pattern is characterized by several small communities, including Graham, Hampton, Louise, and Shenks, many of which are linked by historic routes such as Waldo Rd and Tree Farm Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of local burial sites, including Waldo Cem, Hampton Cem, and Mount Sinai Cem. The map also documents specific local landmarks like the Waldo Water Tower and the Division of Forestry Santa Fe Tower, reflecting the region's managed timberlands and civic infrastructure. The presence of the Santa Fe Canal further illustrates the historical importance of water management and navigation in this part of Florida.
