About this map

Naval Air Station (Cecil Field) dominates the northeastern corner of this Florida landscape, revealing a high-intensity military installation complete with runways and the POW/MIA Mem Park. This 1993 revision contrasts the structured geometry of the air station against the winding hydrology of the North Fork Black Creek and its many tributaries, including Yellow Water Creek and Gum Branch.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds scattered across the county line between Duval Co and Clay Co, including Padsett Cem, Manning Cem, and Whitker Cem. The map preserves traces of the area's rural infrastructure, from the Old RR Gr near the base to names like Turpentine Road, which hint at the region's historic naval stores industry. Small community anchors like Long Branch Ch and Mt Zion Ch serve as local landmarks in an area transitioning between remote wetlands and military expansion.
