Book Description
Excerpt from Leon County, Florida: A Descriptive Pamphlet The northern tier of counties comprising Middle Florida and embracing all that portion of the State lying between the Suwannee river on the east and the Apalachicola river on the west, and between the Georgia line on the north and the Gulf coast on the south, is about one hundred and fifty miles in length, east and west, and varying in width from forty to ninety miles, north and south. The topography of the country included in the above boundaries is exceedingly varied and interesting. Along the Gulf coast the surface consists of almost continuous marshes and swamps, not deleterious to health, being salt, but forbidding residence and cultivation within some miles of the Gulf waters. Next come low table lands covered with pine and cypress forests, and known as "the fiat woods," and "the piney woods." These extend to the foot of the hills, which form the third level of elevation, and, beginning from twelve to twenty miles back from the coast, rise in successive gently undulating elevations to the height of nearly three hundred feet above the level of the sea. These hills, with the broad, fertile valleys which lie between them and the high table lands which extend northward into Georgia, were originally, and are yet partially covered with a magnificent growth of live-oak, pine, red bay or Florida mahogany, magnolia, water-oak, hickory, black-oak, white-oak, and other hard woods, and are interspersed with numerous water-courses, lakes and ponds of pure fresh water. The Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad, extending with its connections from Savannah and Jacksonville to the Apalachicola river, passes through the several counties of Middle Florida, with a branch from Tallahassee to the port of St. Marks, in Wakulla county, a distance of twenty-two miles; the latter place being situated some seven or eight miles from the Gulf on a beautiful and navigable river of the same name, and having an excellent harbor, custom-house, and quite an extensive trade in fish, oysters and sponges, taken from points along the coast. A staunch steamship makes regular voyages between St. Marks and New Orleans. A light house of the second class stands at the mouth of the river. There are a number of towns, villages and settlements scattered about the county, chief of which are Miccosukie, near the lake of that name, in the eastern part of the county; Centreville, twelve miles north of Tallahassee, near the centre of the county, and Lamonia, near the lake of that name, in the northern part of the county. Bradfordville, ten miles from Tallahassee, is a most attractive and nourishing little place. The famous Wakulla Spring is about sixteen miles from Tallahassee, in a southwesterly direction; and this, with the wonderful St. Marks river, with the numerous mineral springs abounding along its banks, and its Natural Bridge twelve miles from Tallahassee, the several lakes, the old city of St. Marks, with its ancient Spanish fort, the old United States Armory and Barracks at Chattahoochee, now used as a State Insane Asylum, and many other places of interest in the vicinity, offer charming inducements to the Winter visitor in the way of sight-seeing exclusions. The country above described has been called by a brilliant and delightful writer "The Tallahassee Country, or Piedmont Florida," and his descriptions are so truthful and pleasant that we cannot do better than to quote what he says.
