About this map

Amelia Island serves as the primary landmass in this mid-century topographic study, showcasing a coastal landscape defined by maritime industry and recreation. Small settlements like Amelia City, American Beach, and Franklintown dot the eastern shoreline, connected by The Buccaneer Trail. The western edge of the island is bounded by the Amelia River and a complex network of marshes and tidal creeks, including Kingsley Creek and Harrison Creek.

A clear transportation and economic infrastructure is evident, from the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport in the north to the Intracoastal Waterway threading through the sound. Local landmarks such as St Pauls Ch and several small cemeteries provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the area. The map also captures the transition from Nassau Co to Duval Co across Nassau Sound, near Talbot Island.
