About this map

Havana serves as the primary northern anchor on this 1980s landscape, where the Seaboard railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the southeast near Gibson and Midway. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Hurricane Creek, Double Branch, and Reed Creek, which all feed toward the winding Ochlockonee River at the Leon County border. This era shows a mix of traditional rural infrastructure and modern development, evidenced by the presence of the Tallahassee Commercial Airport and several residential trailer parks.

For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous country churches and burial grounds such as Woodland Cem, Salem Cem, and Neals Temple. Land use is distinctly varied, featuring active Strip Mine operations and sandpits alongside recreational and residential waters like Lake Tallavana and Lake Yvette. Notable landmarks include a Lookout Tower near China Hill and the Gadsden Christian Academy, reflecting the community's local educational and civic structure during this period.
