1952 Map of Fleming Island
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The St Johns River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the waterfront communities of Clay and St Johns counties. Along the western bank, the settlements of Hibernia and Magnolia Springs flank the larger center at Green Cove Springs, connected by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The inclusion of the Jacksonville Air Force Station GATR Facility on Fleming Island reflects the Cold War era's military footprint in the region, while the eastern shore remains characterized by smaller landing points like Switzerland and Fruit Cove. Local spiritual life is anchored by several historic congregations, including St Margaret Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch. This landscape illustrates the transition of old riverfront estates and military installations into the burgeoning suburban corridors of Northeast Florida.
