About this map

Green Cove Springs anchors the west bank of the St Johns River in this 1949 survey, which includes 1970 photorevised updates shown in purple. The map reveals a transition from the established riverfront town to the outlying settlements of Walkill and Leno. Near the City Dock, the local spiritual and community landscape is marked by Old St Marys Ch and Mt Olivet Cem, while the interior features the Shiloh Ch.

A significant postwar footprint is visible at Reynolds Airfield (Private), emphasizing the area's mid-century aviation and industrial utility. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the terrain, crossing Governors Creek and navigating the wetlands between Hickory Grove and Red Bay Point. These detailed layers offer a look at Clay County before modern suburban expansion, tracing the interaction of the river-dependent economy and the rail networks of the period.
