1948 Map of Jacksonville
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The St Johns River and the complex tidal network of the Georgia-Florida borderlands define this 1948 survey. Compiled just after the war, the map documents a landscape where traditional maritime geography meets modern military expansion. Coastal settlements like St Marys and Fernandina sit adjacent to the sprawling Jacksonville NAS and the Camp Blanding Mil Res, reflecting the strategic importance of the coast during this era. The rail network remains the backbone of the region's landward economy, with the Florida East Coast, Seaboard Air Line, and Atlantic Coast Line radiating from the hub of Jacksonville. Along the coast, the undisturbed reaches of Cumberland Island and its historic landmarks like Dungeness contrast with the developing mainland communities of Yulee and Kingsland.
