About this map

Mayport Naval Station and the sprawling coastal development of Jacksonville Beach define this mid-1960s coastal landscape. The transition from the dense residential grids of Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach to the intricate network of islands and marshland along the Intracoastal Waterway is clearly visible. The map records several educational and religious landmarks, including Fletcher High Sch and Jordan Chapel, alongside recreational spaces like the Jacksonville Beach Golf Club.

Southward, the influence of the water persists through the developments of Isle of Palms and Pablo Keys, which sit adjacent to the winding course of Pablo Creek. A significant archaeological site, the Indian Mound near Oak Harbor, suggests a deeper history of habitation long before the modernization of Atlantic Boulevard or the expansion of San Pablo. This survey documents a critical period of growth for these barrier island communities as they expanded into the wetlands of Cedar Swamp and Possum Head Swamp.
