1944 Map of Fernandina

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Ft Clinch stands at the northern tip of Amelia Island, overlooking the strategically vital St Marys Entrance during the mid-1940s. This survey, compiled from 1942 aerial photography, documents the coastal landscape of Nassau County at a time when the Seaboard Air Line railroad provided the primary land connection to the busy port at Fernandina. The map captures a distinct era of settlement, contrasting the established grid of the main town with the older site at Old Fernandina and the smaller outpost at Franklintown to the south.
