2012 Map of Dinsmore

About this map

Trout River and its tributaries define this landscape on the northwestern outskirts of Jacksonville as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map documents a transition from rural homesteads and named family cemeteries, such as Keen Cem near Keene, to the suburban expansion of Dinsmore and Spaulding. The hydrology of the area is detailed through the courses of Little Trout River, Thomas Cr, and Ninemile Cr, which historically shaped the settlement patterns of these small communities. Significant landmarks from the era, including the Dinsmore Lookout Tower, stand as nautical or forestry markers in a region marked by extensive local road networks like Old Kings Rd. This record provides a clear view of the Corporate Limit 1975, capturing the spatial organization of these Florida neighborhoods before further modern development.
