1970 Map of Hilliard

About this map

Hilliard and the surrounding Nassau County landscape are defined by a network of drainage and transportation in the early 1970s. The town centers on the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which runs parallel to a corridor of utility and aviation features, including a Landing Strip, a Radio Tower, and a Lookout Tower. This layout reflects the local economic reliance on timber and rail transit during this era. Outside the main settlement, the terrain shifts into low-lying wetlands such as Buford Bay and Cabbage Swamp, which feed into Little St Marys River and Mills Creek. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like Buford Grove Ch and the neighboring St Theresa Cem and Oakwood Cem, while the small settlement of Andrews marks the northern rail approach near a dedicated Weighing Sta.
