About this map

Yellow Bluff Fort State Historical Site anchors this coastal Duval County landscape, where the St Johns River meets a complex network of marshes and industrial corridors. The 1992 updates reveal the expansion of Jacksonville into older settlements like New Berlin and Eastport, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad facilitates transport through the coastal lowlands. The map details the transition from high ground features like Buckhorn Bluff to the expansive Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve.

Navigation and maritime infrastructure are central to this area, evidenced by the Dames Point-Fulton Cutoff and the US Navy Fuel Depot. Smaller rural landmarks such as Oak Grove Ch and Dunn Creek Cem remain as traces of earlier community life amidst the developing urban fringe. The intricate waterways, including Dunn Creek and Clapboard Creek, illustrate the delicate balance between the area's aquatic preserves and its strategic position as a commercial port.
