About this map

The St Johns River defines the lower half of this Duval County landscape, where the Dames Point-Fulton Cutoff and numerous islands like Blount Island and Browns Island mark a complex maritime environment. The area reflects a mid-century period of transition, blending historical landmarks like the Yellow Bluff Fort State Historical Site and Ft Caroline Nat Mem with industrial and military installations including the U S Navy Fuel Depot.

Settlement patterns are scattered across the terrain, with established communities such as New Berlin and Eastport connected by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and arterial roads like Heckscher Drive. To the north, the environment shifts toward extensive wetlands, including Clapboard Swamp and Caney Swamp, where smaller water bodies like Dunn Creek and Pelotes Island suggest a landscape still defined by its natural drainage before modern development fully expanded into the area.
