About this map

Matanzias River and the Intracoastal Waterway define the eastern edge of this coastal Florida landscape, where the salt marshes meet the pine flatwoods. The interior is dominated by the expansive Fish Swamp and a network of drainages including Pellicer Creek and Cracker Branch. These waterways cross the boundary between St Johns and Flagler counties, marking a region historically shaped by its proximity to both the Atlantic coast and inland timber resources.

Transportation corridors like the Florida East Coast rail line and the Old Brick Road provide evidence of early 20th-century infrastructure. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as Schoolhouse Ch and the Pellicer Creek Cem. Small settlements like Cedar Landing indicate the established presence of coastal residents who utilized the sheltered waters of the Matanzas river system long before modern development.
