2024 Map of Eastport

About this map

Saint Johns River and its complex network of tributaries dominate this survey of the industrial and protected coastal landscapes north of Jacksonville. The map captures a unique intersection of heavy maritime commerce and conservation, where the massive Blount Island shipping terminals sit adjacent to the protected wetlands of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Traces of the region's long military history are visible at Yellow Bluff Fort and the Fort Caroline site near Beacon Hills. Smaller, distinct settlements like New Berlin, Eastport, and Polly Town are mapped alongside extensive swamp systems including Sample Swamp and Caney Swamp. For those researching local families, the Dunn Creek Cem and numerous named points like Dames Point and Drummond Point provide essential geographic context for the northeastern Florida coast.
