About this map

Amelia Island serves as the focal point for this 2018 survey, illustrating the modern density and ecological protections along the Atlantic coast of northern Florida. The map documents established communities such as Amelia City, American Beach, and Franklintown, which are positioned between the oceanfront and the South Amelia River. The northern portion of the island is dominated by the sprawl of Fernandina Beach and the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, showing a landscape heavily shaped by transportation and tourism.

Conservation efforts are clearly delineated at the southern end of the sheet, where the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve encompasses vast marshlands like Mesa Marsh and islands such as Talbot Island and Black Hammock Island. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the network of tidal channels, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the wide Nassau Sound, which separates the island chain from the northern reaches of Jacksonville.
