About this map

Jacksonville University and the Jacksonville riverfront define this coastal landscape as it transitioned through the mid-twentieth century. The St Johns River and Arlington River dominate the western edge, connected by the Mathews Bridge, while the inland area shows a dense network of suburban development such as Eggleston Heights and Oakwood Villa. Educational and civic growth is evident in the presence of Parker High Sch and the developing grounds of the University of North Florida.

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, from the Seaboard Coast Line tracks at Bowden to the Strip Mine north of Atlantic Blvd. Historical traces remain in the numerous burial grounds like Parsons Cem and Sammis Cem, providing key data for genealogists. The map also captures specialized infrastructure like the Graig Municipal Airport and several radio towers, reflecting the era's expanding communication and aviation footprint.
