About this map

The Trout River and its tributary, the Little Trout River, define the landscape northwest of Jacksonville in this mid-1960s survey with early 1980s updates. The settlement of Dinsmore serves as a local hub, situated where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and Kings Road converge. The area’s rural roots are evidenced by family-named landmarks like Keen Cem near the small settlement of Keene, and Plummer along Plummer Road.

A notable shift in land use is visible at the southern edge of the map, where the Jacksonville corporate boundary meets the expansive grounds of the U S Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field). This transition from wetland and timber tracts along Thomas Creek to the expanding suburbs of the city is marked by institutional landmarks such as St Pauls Ch and School No 45, alongside the Dinsmore Lookout Tower used for regional forest monitoring.
