1952 Map of Bayard

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The St Johns River defines the western edge of this early 1950s survey, where the riverbank meets a landscape dominated by expansive wetlands like Tiger Hole Swamp and Big Island Swamp. This era shows the Florida East Coast railroad and the parallel Florida East Coast (U.S. 1) highway serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Bayard and Sunbeam. Local life is anchored by institutions such as St Josephs Academy and the Loretto-Mandarin Sch, while the southern boundary follows the winding course of Julington Creek. The interior terrain is a network of drainage branches, including Second Puncheon Branch and Mill Dam Branch, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced development patterns in Duval County before widespread suburban expansion altered the local drainage and land use.
