2024 Map of Amelia City

About this map

Amelia Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as a vital corridor for both natural preservation and residential development along the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, which protects the delicate marshlands and tidal creeks of Mesa Marsh and Sawpit Creek. Historically significant communities such as Amelia City, American Beach, and Franklintown are situated along the Buccaneer Trl, reflecting the unique cultural and residential evolution of this barrier island. The southern portion of the map transitions into the salt marshes and sounds that separate the mainland from Talbot Island and Black Hammock Island. Transport networks are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport and the north-south artery of highway a1a. Waterways like the South Amelia River and the Intracoastal Waterway facilitate coastal transit through a complex network of islands and points, including Seymour Point and Tiger Point.
