With regard to elevations the area falls into two very pro¬ 
nounced divisions, a northern upland section and a southern area of 
lesser elevation. The northern division, which includes the. greater 
part of Leon and rather more than one-half of Jefferson counties, 
lies within the belt of red sandy clay hills of northern Florida. 
Lakes are very numerous and vary in size from small to large. The 
hills rise above the lake basins by gradual slopes, usually from 50 to 
100 feet. The southern belt is more uniform and the land surface 
rises gradually in passing inland from the coast. 
Elevations are indicated on the map of this area and on the 
profile across the state from north to south, which accompanies the 
map. From the state line to Tallahassee the profile follows the pub¬ 
lic road known as the Dixie Highway, while from Tallahassee to 
the Gulf it follows the St. Marks branch of the Seaboard Air Line 
Railway. The highest land is that which extends with some inter¬ 
ruptions from Tallahassee north about ten miles. This upland 
probably represents essentially the original plateau level, having 
been but little reduced by erosion. The hill on which the State Cap¬ 
itol stands at Tallahassee is about 216 feet above sea level, while 
the maximum plateau level farther north is about 238 feet above sea 
level. Near the northern line of the State the general land level is 
somewhat lowered. This is true not only on the line of this profile, 
but generally throughout this area. Within this belt near the north, 
line of the State are found the two large basins, Iamonia and Mic- 
cosukee. (Map and profile inserted following p. 100.)
