About this map

Fernandina Beach serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated on the northern end of Amelia Island. The map illustrates the town's grid and development near historic Old Fernandina, where landmarks like the Bosque Bello Cem and Nassau General Hospital are prominent. To the north, across the St Marys Entrance and the state boundary between Georgia and Florida, lies the southern tip of Cumberland Island, featuring the ruins of Dungeness and the protected lands of the Cumberland Island National Seashore.

A complex network of waterways, including the St Marys River, Jolly River, and Tiger Creek, surrounds Tiger Island and Piney Island, highlighting the region's reliance on maritime navigation and defense. The strategic importance of the inlet is marked by Fort Clinch State Park and the nearby Kings Bay Naval Submarine Support Base. This topography shows the confluence of recreation, military infrastructure, and preserved natural shorelines during the mid-1990s.
