About this map

Nassau River and Thomas Creek wind through the extensive wetlands and marshes of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in this landscape along the border of Duval and Nassau counties. The area is defined by its transition from the tidal waterways and points like Smiths Point to the heavily forested interior swamps, including Plummer Swamp and Tom Mann Swamp. To the west, the expansive grounds of the Jacksonville National Cemetery and the Ogilvie Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

Transportation corridors like N Ocean Blvd and The Buccaneer Trl link the small communities of Italia and Hero with the northern periphery of the Jacksonville International Airport property. This region remains characterized by its intricate drainage networks, where Alligator Creek and Mills Creek feed into the larger river systems that shaped early settlement patterns in this part of Northeast Florida.
