1964 Map of Jacksonville Beach

About this map

Mayport Naval Station and the sprawling marshlands of the Intracoastal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape, captured just as the eastern expansion of Jacksonville met the burgeoning beach communities. The survey details the transition from the tidal creeks of the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve to the dense residential grids of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family and community burial grounds, including Tillotson Cem and Rain Cem, alongside landmarks like Fletcher High Sch and the City Hall. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the barrier islands, where Pablo Creek and the Jacksonville Beach Wildlife Refuge buffer the urban development from the open Atlantic Ocean.
