1964 Map of Baldwin

About this map

Military aviation and rural development define the landscape west of Jacksonville as recorded in this 1960s survey, with updates from the early 1990s. The town of Baldwin serves as a central hub where multiple rail lines and major roads converge, including a High Sch and several Tanks. The expansion of defense infrastructure is prominent, with the massive US Naval Air Station (Cecil Field) occupying the southern portion of the map and US Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field) visible to the east. Smaller settlements like Otis, Mandeville, and Tulane are scattered across a terrain shaped by Baldwin Bay and winding waterways like Brandy Branch and McGirts Cr. Historical transportation routes are evident in the Old Plank Road, providing a glimpse into the regional connectivity prior to the modern highway system. Technical infrastructure is also noted, including multiple Radio Towers (WAPE) and a Substation.
