This thesis documents a 20th century African American cemetery located in Tallahassee Florida. Hickory Hill Cemetery which was utilized by sharecroppers living and working on the Welaunee Plantation has not been properly surveyed since 1997. A survey of the cemetery was conducted in winter of 2022 which utilized an EDM total station to create a map of the site. By documenting the condition of the site along with historical research the author was able to create spatial maps that represent different family groupings, and headstone types. The author also provides background knowledge on Middle Florida plantation life, African American burial traditions, Welaunee Plantation, and sharecropping. A family tree was also created to depict how individuals buried within the cemetery are related to one another.
