1970 Map of Dinner Island

About this map

Big Cypress Swamp dominates this landscape along the border of St Johns and Flagler Counties, where a complex network of dry hammocks and wet lowlands creates a patchwork of islands. Small interior settlements such as Roy and the namesake Dinner Island sit amongst a series of named high points including Jack O'Neck Island, Turkey Island, and Pine Island. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern sections points to earlier industrial activity, likely timber extraction, that shaped the region before these updates in the early 1970s.
