1970 Map of Hilliard

About this map

The town of Hilliard serves as the central hub of this North Florida landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the low-lying terrain of western Nassau County. This survey captures a mix of timberland and marshy basins, specifically the expansive Buford Bay and the winding course of the Little St Marys River. Local history is anchored by rural institutions like Buford Grove Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside established burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem and St Theresa Cem. The map documents a period of early aviation and infrastructure, noting a Landing Strip and Lookout Tower near the town center, while smaller communities like Andrews and a Trailer Park indicate the residential footprint of the early 1970s. Industrial activity is visible through scattered Sandpit sites and a Weigh Sta situated north of the main settlement.
