About this map

Fort Caroline National Memorial and the Yellow Bluff Fort anchor the historical landscape where the Saint Johns River meets a complex network of marshes and tidal creeks. This coastal region, protected largely by the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, shows a striking mix of preservation and heavy industrial activity. The southern half of the map is dominated by the maritime operations at MCSF Blount Island (FL) and the FLC Fuel Depot Heckscher, reflecting the area's vital role in national logistics and shipping.

Residential enclaves like Polly Town, New Berlin, and Eastport are tucked between extensive wetlands such as Clapboard Swamp and Caney Swamp. The topography reveals the shifting nature of the river with features like Dames Point - Fulton Cutoff and Brills Cut Range, which indicate the engineering required to maintain deep-water access. Genealogists may find interest in the Dunn Creek Cem located near the northern reaches of Dunn Creek.
