1958 Map of Amelia City

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Amelia Island is defined by its intricate network of coastal marshes and waterways during this mid-century period. The central settlement of Amelia City and the seaside community of American Beach sit along the Atlantic coast, anchored by the Buccaneer Trail running south toward Franklintown. This survey documents a critical era for the island's infrastructure, showing the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport and the complex channels of the Intracoastal Waterway as they weave past Crane Island and Big Piney Island. To the south, the landscape opens into the broad Nassau Sound, separating the island from Talbot Island. Local landmarks such as St Pauls Ch and a nearby Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while the numerous creeks like Kingsley Creek and South Amelia River illustrate the tidal environment before extensive modern development altered the shoreline.
