2015 Map of Fernandina Beach

About this map

Fernandina Beach serves as the gateway to this coastal intersection of Florida and Georgia, where the Saint Marys River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map documents a complex maritime landscape defined by navigable channels like the Intracoastal Waterway and various river segments including Rayonier Reach and City Front Reach. To the north, the protected expanses of the Cumberland Island National Seashore and the historical site of Dungeness sit just across the state line in Georgia. On Amelia Island, the street grid of the modern city contrasts with the older settlement at Old Fernandina and the prominent fortification at Fort Clinch. Local landmarks like McClure Hill and the Bosquebello Cem provide topographical and genealogical points of interest. The area's reliance on water transport is evident through the presence of the Cumberland Sound Fry and the Thomas J Shave, Junior, Bridge connecting the island to the mainland near Piney Island.
