1970 Map of Elkton

About this map

Elkton and the surrounding agricultural landscape of St. Johns County are defined here by a network of drainage canals and rural track roads such as Poa Boy Road and Cabbage Hammock Rd. The Florida East Coast railway serves as a primary corridor, connecting the settlements of Armstrong and Vermont Heights through the marshy lowlands of Trestle Bay and Cowan Swamp. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the St Ambrose Ch and Zion Hill Ch, while the presence of the Fairgrounds and a Landing Strip suggests a hub for regional gatherings and aviation in this era. The topography reveals the intricate water management required in this part of Florida, with McCullough Creek and various unnamed branches weaving between established farms and timber stands.
