1981 Map of Fernandina Beach
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Cumberland Island and its extensive National Seashore dominate this coastal survey, where the intricate waterways of the St Marys River and Nassau River define the Georgia-Florida border. The map illustrates a complex maritime environment at the start of the 1980s, highlighting the strategic and recreational importance of the region from the Kings Bay Naval Base to the protected grounds of Fort Clinch State Park. Inland, the rail-oriented growth of Folkston and Hilliard contrasts with the tidal marshes and coastal settlements like Franklintown and American Beach. Numerous landings and historic points such as Dungeness Wharf and Cumberland Wharf suggest a long history of water-based commerce and travel. The transition from timber and rail hub to a modern coastal economy is evident in the presence of Jacksonville International Airport and the sprawl of Fernandina Beach.
