2015 Map of Jacksonville Beach

About this map

Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve anchors the northern reaches of this coastal map, protecting a network of salt marshes and tidal creeks such as Chicopit Bay and Greenfield Creek. The landscape transition from the natural wetlands of Dawson Island and Crying Child Island to the densely developed residential grids of Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach illustrates the 21st-century urban character of the Florida coast. Between the mainland and the barrier island communities, the Intracoastal Waterway serves as a critical maritime artery, crossed by the McCormick Bridge along Beach Blvd. In the northeast, the presence of the Indian Mound and the Mayport Cem near Wonderwood points to layers of cultural history that predate the modern subdivisions of Holiday Harbor and Sans Pareil. Educational landmarks like the Stenotype Institute of Jacksonville Inc further mark the contemporary suburban growth of the Jacksonville area.
