1970 Map of Tallahassee

About this map

The Florida state capital and its academic institutions dominate this survey, which documents Tallahassee during a period of significant urban growth. The city’s core is anchored by the Capitol, Old City Hall, and the expansive campuses of Florida State University and Florida A & M University. To the west and south, the landscape transitions from developed city blocks into the wetlands and pine woods of the Apalachicola National Forest, featuring landmarks like Lake Bradford and the Tallahassee Municipal Airport. Transportation is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the newly constructed corridor of Interstate 10 cutting across the northern edge of the map. Suburban expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Belair and Lakeside, while established local history is preserved at Roselawn Cemetery and Oakland Cemetery.
