1964 Map of Jacksonville Beach

About this map

Pablo Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway carve through the coastal landscape, defining the separation between the dense mainland swamps and the growing beach communities of the mid-1960s. The shoreline is anchored by Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Neptune Beach, showing a grid of suburban expansion and tourism infrastructure, including the Jacksonville Beach Golf Club and El Verde Yacht Basin. To the north, the massive Mayport Naval Station occupies a significant portion of the peninsula, its naval piers and facilities standing in contrast to the nearby Indian Mound and traditional landmarks like Jordan Chapel. Inland, the geography is a complex network of marshy islands such as Crying Child Island and Seven Pines Island, while family history is preserved at Tillotson Cem and Rain Cem near the Municipal Airport (Craig Field).
