1999 Map of Lafayette

About this map

The eastern edges of Tallahassee meet a complex landscape of wetlands and institutional lands in this late 20th-century survey. The sprawling Lake Lafayette system dominates the central terrain, including Piney Z Lake and Alford Arm, providing a focal point for conservation efforts like the L Kirk Edwards State Wildlife and Environment Area. The map reveals the civic footprint of the era through the Federal Correctional Institution, Prison Farm, and schools such as Lincoln High Sch. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous rural landmarks, including St Peter Cemetery, Sodafield Cem, and a collection of community churches such as Mt Pisgah Ch and New Zion Ch. Traditional transit routes like the St Augustine Road and the Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway indicate how the capital city expanded while preserving significant green spaces like Tom Brown Park and the J R Alford Greenway.
