Surveying in Leon County
Leon County is home to Florida's capital city Tallahassee and sits in the rolling Red Hills region, one of the few areas in Florida with significant topographic relief. Surveyors encounter elevation changes of 50-100 feet within short distances, a stark contrast to the flat terrain of peninsular Florida.
The county's geology features extensive karst terrain with numerous sinkholes, sinking streams, and Lake Jackson — a lake that periodically drains entirely through sinkholes. Topographic surveys must pay close attention to subtle depressions indicating subsurface voids.
Historic properties near the Capitol complex and in downtown Tallahassee may reference original Spanish land grant surveys and territorial-era plats, requiring historical research through multiple recording systems dating to the early 1800s.
