1988 Map of Tallahassee

About this map

The Apalachicola River serves as a dominant geographic divider on this 1980s map, separating the panhandle's pine forests from the capital city of Tallahassee. The region shows the maturity of the inland water systems following the creation of Lake Seminole at the confluence of the Flint River and Chattahoochee River. Coastal development is prominent near Panama City and Panama City Beach, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the expansive Apalachicola National Forest and St Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Researchers can trace the mid-century industrial transport network, including the Seaboard System Railroad and Louisville & Nashville RR, alongside the modern development of Interstate 10, which connects the regional centers of Marianna, Quincy, and Tallahassee.
