About this map

The Nassau River winds through a dense network of marshlands and tidal creeks along the border of Nassau and Duval counties. This 1958 landscape, updated with 1989 revisions, shows the transition from the secluded wetlands of the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve to the burgeoning infrastructure of north Florida. The small settlement of Italia sits near the northern boundary, while the massive footprint of the Jacksonville International Airport begins to dominate the southern section of the map.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Jacksonville Penal Farm and the Ogilvie Cem near Thomas Creek. The map details numerous water access points, including Watt Landing and Clay Landing, which illustrate the region's historical reliance on its waterways. Notable transportation routes like The Buccaneer Trail and Pecan Park Road provide the primary terrestrial links through the swampy terrain of Tom Mann Swamp and Boggy Creek.
