2012 Map of Bradfordville

About this map

Bradfordville and Centerville anchor this landscape in northern Leon County, where residential expansion increasingly intermingles with an older, water-defined geography. The area is marked by a complex network of sinkhole lakes and ponds, ranging from the expansive Lake Iamonia in the north to the curiously named Lake Monkey Business and Huggle Pond. This 2012 survey documents the density of modern suburban subdivisions around Lake McBride and Lake Killarney, while preserving the locations of legacy family and community sites. Genealogists can identify several key burial grounds that speak to the area’s earlier rural history, including the Lester Cem, Mitchell Cem, and Bradford Eppes Cem. The transition from historical agricultural roots to modern northern Tallahassee sprawl is evident in the dense street grids of the south contrasted against the more open, wetland-heavy terrain near Cedar Blf.
