About this map

Baldwin serves as the central hub of this West Duval County landscape, where the intersection of major transportation routes and rail lines shaped the regional growth. The map illustrates a significant military footprint during the mid-20th century, anchored by the expansive US Naval Air Station (Cecil Field) in the south and US Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field) to the northeast. These installations, alongside the US Naval Reservation, reflect the area's strategic importance.

Smaller settlements like Tulane, Mandeville, and Otis are situated along the transit corridors, while the Old Plank Road hints at earlier overland travel patterns. The natural environment is defined by the marshy expanse of Baldwin Bay and a network of waterways including Brandy Branch and Yellow Water Cr. Local infrastructure is further detailed through landmarks such as the High Sch and the Radio Towers (WAPE).
