1937 Map of Bakersville

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Bakersville and the surrounding St. Johns County wetlands are captured here just before World War II, showcasing a landscape defined by extensive drainage networks and early transport corridors. The map highlights the intersection of the St Augustine Stage Road and Old Kings Road, tracing historic routes through a complex system of marshes including Six Mile Swamp and Turnbull Swamp. Rural life is anchored by the Bakersville Ch and the Mill Creek Sch, while more curious landmarks like the Theatrical Troop Monument and the enigmatically named Glimpse of Glory hint at local lore. The presence of a Fire Observation Tower and the tracks of the Florida East Coast railway underscore the region's 1930s infrastructure, balancing timber management with the burgeoning coastal travel along the Florida East Coast US Hwy No 1.
