About this map

Vermont Heights and Elkton serve as the primary focal points of this northeastern Florida landscape, where agricultural tradition meets late twentieth-century residential expansion. The area is defined by its distinct hamlets and rural junctions, including Molasses Junction and Armstrong, which are connected by a network of local routes like Co Rd 13A and the historical corridor of the Fec railroad. The presence of St Ambrose Church and the nearby St Ambrose Cem provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research in this part of Saint Johns County.

The terrain is notably intersected by watercourses and drainage features, such as McCullough Cr and Moccasin Br, which feed into the surrounding lowlands. Aviation history is represented by the landing strip at Byrd Air Field, while industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the eastern margin. The grid of naming conventions, from Poa Boy Farms Rd to Sawdust Rd, reflects the deep-rooted rural and farming character of the region before more modern developments like Cypress Links Blvd began to alter the periphery.
