About this map

ST Johns River frontage and the sprawling marshlands of the Arlington River define this mid-century survey of Duval County. The landscape is a mix of establishing suburbs and industrial infrastructure, ranging from the residential streets of Arlington and Southside Estates to the active Strip Mine near Strawberry Creek. Aviation history is present at Craig Field, while the riverbank shows the early development of Floral Bluff and Eggleston Heights.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through numerous local landmarks, including the Parsons Cem, Sammis Cem, and Shiloh Ch. The map also documents older layers of history with a noted Indian Mound near Mitchell Bluff. Transport networks are transitioning from the Florida East Coast RR and St Johns River Terminal RR toward an increasing reliance on major thoroughfares like Atlantic Blvd and Phillips Highway.
