About this map

Jacksonville Beach and the neighboring coastal communities of Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach are shown here during a period of significant post-war infrastructure development. While the oceanfront is already densely plotted with a street grid extending to Manhattan Beach, the interior landscape remains a complex network of marsh and hammocks. Notable among these are Seven Pines Island and Crying Child Island situated within the wide reach of Pablo Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Modernization is evident with Beach Boulevard listed as being under construction, alongside established routes like Atlantic Boulevard. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Indian Mound near Wonderwood, and various community hubs including Fletcher High School, the Warren Smith Cemetery, and the WJVB radio tower. To the south, the Duval and St. Johns county line crosses through the Ponte Vedra Golf Course.
