1970 Map of Tallahassee

About this map

Tallahassee is captured here as a rapidly evolving capital city during the early 1970s, with urban expansion pushing toward the edges of the Apalachicola National Forest and the Tallahassee Municipal Airport. The map highlights the sprawling campuses of Florida State University and Florida A & M University, including landmarks like Campbell Stadium. Beyond the institutional core, the landscape is defined by its characteristic sinkhole lakes and wetlands, such as Lake Bradford, Gum Swamp, and the Meginnis Arm of Lake Jackson to the north.
