1943 Map of Tallahassee

About this map

Tallahassee is captured here as a growing capital city during the early 1940s, its urban footprint defined by the presence of Florida State College for Women and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College. The Seaboard Air Line RR serves as a primary transit artery, cutting through the terrain towards the Municipal Airport. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the heavily wooded wetlands of the Apalachicola National Forest, where a network of family-named schools and churches like Richardson Sch and Zion Hill Ch anchor rural communities.
