About this map

Nassau River and its intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes dominate this coastal Florida landscape at the border of Nassau and Duval counties. The northern reaches show the residential expansion of Nassauville and Yulee Heights, while the southern portion transitions into the protected wetlands of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. This area is defined by its water-bound islands, including Pearson Island and Burton Island, and the winding paths of Lofton Creek and Edwards Creek.

Family history is preserved at small burial sites like Bowles Cem and Ferreira Cem, providing vital clues for genealogists researching local lineages. Transportation hubs such as the Flying-A-Ranch Airport and Nassau Airport reflect the area's modern infrastructure alongside older settlements like Hedges and Tisonia. The map illustrates a landscape where established communities and modern developments meet the saltwater estuaries of the Atlantic coast.
