1999 Map of Tallahassee

About this map

Florida State University and Florida A&M University anchor the urban core of Florida's capital, where the city's academic and political life meets the northern edge of the Apalachicola National Forest. The landscape is defined by its numerous lakes and swamps, including Lake Bradford and the Black Swamp, which separate the developed city center from the Tallahassee Regional Airport. Notable local history is preserved in the Old City Cem and Oakland Cemetery, while the northern hills transition toward Indian Mounds State Park. Transport corridors like the CSX Transportation rail line and Tennessee St trace the growth of the state capital as it expanded toward suburban reaches like Belair and Lakeside. The concentration of numerous primary and secondary schools, from Leon High Sch to Springwood Elementary Sch, illustrates the dense residential planning of the late 20th century.
