1937 Map of Elkton

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Elkton and the surrounding agricultural lands of St. Johns County are captured here just before the era of modern development. The landscape is defined by the expansive Twelve Mile Swamp and the vital transit corridor of the Florida East Coast railroad. Local community life centers on the St Ambrose church and nearby School, while the presence of a Turpentine Camp north of Tocoi Road highlights the importance of the naval stores industry to the regional economy. This survey, compiled in part from early aerial photography by Albert Pike, illustrates the intricate drainage network of Mccollough Creek and Moccasin Branch as they navigate the flatwoods terrain. Small settlements like Vermont Heights and Armstrong mark the transition between the wilder swamp edges and the developing network of state highways and roads.
