2012 Map of Hastings

About this map

The Saint Johns River defines the western and northern reaches of this landscape, its wide waters punctuated by numerous points such as Verdiere Point and Dancy Point. Agriculture and small-town growth are centered around Hastings, where the street grid expands near the Po and Resthaven Cem and Memorial Park. Further south and west, the settlement of East Palatka sits near the river's bend at Devils Elbow, connected to the opposite shore by the Memorial Bridge. The interior is crisscrossed by drainage and creek systems including Dog Branch and W Run Cracker Br, supporting the rural communities of Orange Mills and Patersonville. Local history is preserved in several sites like the Patersonville Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cem near Federal Point, documenting the long-standing family and community footprints in this riverine region.
