1919 Map of Fernandina

About this map

Amelia Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the grid of Fernandina and the historic site of Old Fernandina meet the complex waterways of the St Marys R and Amelia River. At the northern tip of the island, Ft Clinch stands guard near the U S Quarantine Sta and the Amelia Island L H, marking a landscape vital to maritime navigation and defense during the early twentieth century. Further south, the settlement of Franklintown represents the island's interior development alongside the Jacksonville Air Line Road.
