About this map

Lake Jackson and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 1980s landscape, illustrating the suburban expansion north of Tallahassee. The presence of the Lake Jackson Mounds State Archaeological Site on the southern shore highlights the long-standing significance of this basin, while residential developments like Harbinwood Estates and Bellwood Estates reflect the modern growth of the era. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies including Orchard Pond, Mallard Pond, and Carr Lake, connected by a network of boat ramps and landings such as Bull Headley Public Landing.

Transportation and community infrastructure are well-established, with the Seaboard Coast Line RR cutting through the western section near the Tallahassee Commercial Airport. Local history is preserved in landmarks like St Pauls Ch and Moore Cem, alongside more recent institutions such as the Maclay Sch near the Alfred B Maclay State Gardens. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the Ochlockonee River lowlands to the developing ridges of Leon County.
