1982 Map of Lafayette

About this map

The eastern edges of Tallahassee meet the sprawling waters of Lake Lafayette and Piney Z Lake in this 1982 map. The landscape is defined by the transition from urban growth to low-lying basin terrain, where the Seaboard Coast Line cuts across the wetlands. Institutional and civic footprints are prominent, including the Federal Correctional Institution and Tom Brown Park, alongside local landmarks like the Seminole Fish Hatchery. Significant genealogical interest is found in the rural outskirts, where numerous small congregations and burial sites like Mt Pisgah Ch, St Peter Cem, and New Zion Ch are preserved. The presence of St Augustine Road and the Old Tram Road reflects deep-rooted transportation corridors that have long connected these communities.
