1970 Map of Hilliard SW

About this map

Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railway corridors intersect at Crawford, defining the logistical character of this Nassau County landscape during the 1970s. The geography is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Deep Creek, Alligator Creek, and Little Mills Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain into larger systems. Small settlements and railroad sidings like Kent and Hodges are connected by local routes such as Kings Road and Irvin Ave, illustrating the rural transit patterns of the era. The land survey reveals a mix of forested patches and cleared areas, with a prominent Radio Tower standing as a localized landmark near the rail junction. This map provides a detailed view of north Florida's interior before significant modern expansion, highlighting the enduring footprints of the rail industry.
