2024 Map of Elkton

About this map

The low-lying agricultural and wetland interior of St. Johns County defines this area, where the Palatka-to-St. Augustine State Trl follows a historical transportation corridor through the settlements of Elkton and Armstrong. These communities, along with the descriptively named Molasses Junction, reflect the rural development patterns of the Florida panhandle's eastern reaches. Much of the eastern landscape is shaped by drainage and water management, evidenced by the extensive Trestle Bay Swamp and the network of waterways including Moccasin Branch and McCullough Creek. The map shows a transition from structured agricultural plots, such as those near Poa Boy Farms RD, to more dense residential pockets like Vermont Heights. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of the region while highlighting the repurposing of old rail routes into modern recreational corridors.
