1993 Map of Bayard

About this map

Loretto and Mandarin anchor the western portion of this landscape, reflecting a period of significant suburban expansion southeast of the Jacksonville city center. The 1993 edition highlights a dense network of spiritual and educational institutions that served these growing communities, including the St Joseph Ch, First Baptist Ch, and Loretto Sch. Near the southern border, the Duval Co St Johns Co line intersects the winding course of Julington Creek, where the Wesley Manor Retirement Village sits near the waterfront. To the east, the settlement of Bayard remains a distinct point along the rail and road corridors, characterized by local landmarks like the Julington Cem and New Allen Chapel. The map reveals the transformation of Florida's flatwoods into residential developments, while still preserving large swampy tracts like Gum Swamp and the natural drainages of Pottsburg Creek and Sweetwater Creek.
