About this map

Yellow Bluff Fort stands as a focal point of this coastal landscape north of Jacksonville, where the complex estuary of the Saint Johns River meets a network of marshes and islands. The map details the intricate waterways of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, revealing the tidal nature of the region through features like Mill Cove, Clapboard Creek, and Brouard River. Residential and industrial patterns are visible in settlements such as Eastport and New Berlin, while the massive footprint of Blount Island and its surrounding channels indicates the significance of the maritime economy. To the south, the Fort Caroline National Memorial preserves local history near established neighborhoods like Beacon Hills. For genealogists, the map identifies specific local sites including Dunn Creek Cem and small communities like Polly Town and Quinlan that define the area's mid-century growth.
