1952 Map of Durbin

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Florida East Coast railway corridor serves as the primary axis through this northeast Florida landscape, connecting the small settlements of Durbin and Hilden. In the early 1950s, the area was defined by a massive network of wetlands and seasonal drainages, including the expansive Snowden Bay and the low-lying Big Island Swamp. The northeastern corner transitions into the tidal influence of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Tolomato R, preserved in part by the Guana River State Park. A prominent Lookout Tower near Durbin stands as a landmark of mid-century forestry management. Moving south, the map details the rural infrastructure of the era, from the Telephone Line following the rail grade to old thoroughfares like Palm Valley Road and Ninemile Road, which provided essential links across the marshy terrain of Cabbage Swamp and Dry Swamp.
