About this map

The St Johns River serves as the central anchor for this mid-1960s urban landscape, where the confluence with the Ortega River creates a complex shoreline of points and basins. The city's growth is evidenced by a dense grid of neighborhoods like Riverside, Springfield, and San Marco, connected by major infrastructure including the Fuller Warren Bridge and Mathews Bridge. Industrial activity and transport logistics concentrate along the riverbanks, notably at the Municipal Terminal and the St Johns River Terminal.

Railroad corridors belonging to the Southern Railway and Seaboard Air Line slice through the urban fabric, while dozens of local institutions like the Duval Medical Center and St Vincents Hosp anchor the established districts. Genealogists will find significant detail in the large burial grounds such as Evergreen Cemetery and City Cem, as well as the numerous neighborhood schools like Stanton High Sch and Gilbert Jr High Sch that defined community life during this era.
