1956 Map of Dinner Island NE

About this map

Fish Swamp dominates the western portion of this 1956 landscape, reflecting the low-lying coastal hydrology typical of the border between St. Johns and Flagler Counties. This mid-century survey, updated with late 20th-century revisions, documents the preservation of natural waterways and timberlands before modern residential development. Along the eastern edge, the Matanzas River and the Intracoastal Waterway define the Atlantic corridor, while Faver-Dykes State Park and an Aquatic Preserve safeguard the brackish ecosystems near Pellicer Creek. Historical transit routes are well-preserved here, including the alignment of Old Kings Road and Old Brick Road. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Pellicer Creek Cem, situated near the confluence of several drainage branches like Cracker Branch and Pringle Branch.
