1970 Map of Hilliard SW

About this map

Kent and Crawford anchor the southern reaches of this Northeast Florida landscape, situated within a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins. Surveyed in 1970, the map illustrates how transportation corridors were etched into the low-lying terrain, including routes such as Irvin Ave and Quail Road. The area is defined by its intricate hydrology, where Alligator Creek and Deep Creek navigate through densely wooded marshes, a characteristic trait of the coastal plain environment before more intensive modern development. To the west, the small settlement of Cambrai sits near the rail line that connects these remote outposts. A single Radio Tower stands as a prominent man-made landmark amidst the extensive woodland and creek systems like Little Mills Creek and Mill Creek, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure in Nassau County during the late twentieth century.
