1981 Map of Fernandina Beach

About this map

Cumberland Island National Seashore and the surrounding coastal marshlands dominate this 1981 survey of the Florida-Georgia borderlands. The landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of the St Marys River and Satilla River, where the transition from inland timber and agricultural lands to the Atlantic coast is marked by significant maritime and military infrastructure. The presence of the Kings Bay Naval Base near Kingsland and the Jacksonville International Airport to the south illustrates the late 20th-century development of the region.
