About this map

The Nassau River and its intricate network of tributaries define the borderland between Nassau and Duval counties in this modern topographic study. This low-lying drainage system, including Thomas Creek and Mills Creek, has historically shaped the settlement patterns of small communities like Italia and Hero. The map highlights the transition from rural woodlands to modern conservation areas, specifically within the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve where the marshlands meet the river at Smiths Point.

Genealogists can locate the Ogilvie Cem south of the Nassau River, while local historians may note the placement of Joels Landing and Seaton Cr. The landscape is dominated by river bends and meandering creeks, with the northern edge of the Jacksonville International Airport property visible at the southern boundary, reflecting the region's twentieth-century infrastructure development alongside older settlements.
