1952 Map of Fleming Island

About this map

St Johns River dominates this mid-century landscape, separating the developing Fleming Island from the settlements of Switzerland and Fruit Cove to the east. The river's influence is clear, from the numerous pilings and points like Hibernia Point and New Switzerland Point to the network of smaller waterways including Black Creek and Swimming Pen Creek. Aviation history is visible on both shores, featuring the active Fleming Island Airfield and the already Switzerland Airfield (Abandoned).
