About this map

The industrial and maritime landscape of northern Jacksonville is defined by the sweeping curves of the St Johns River and the engineered channels of the Back River. This 1994 imagery reflects the significant twentieth-century development of Blount Island and the Dames Point-Fulton Cutoff, showcasing a complex infrastructure of powerplants, substations, and waterworks alongside military installations like the US Naval Fuel Depot.

Deeply integrated into the estuarine environment, protected lands of the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve contrast with residential enclaves such as Polly Town and Dames Point Manor. Local heritage is anchored by the Yellow Bluff Fort State Historical Site and the Dunn Creek Cem, marking older settlement patterns along Dunn Creek and Clapboard Creek before the expansion of modern port facilities and the heavy industrialization of the riverfront.
