About this map

Jacksonville stands as a bustling logistics and maritime hub along the St Johns River, captured here during a period of significant urban expansion and bridge construction. The waterfront is defined by a heavy industrial and transportation network, from the Municipal Terminal at Talleyrand to the rail yards of the Seaboard Coast Line and the F E C RR. Downtown, civic life centers around the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Gator Bowl, while transportation is anchored by Union Station.

Neighborhoods like Riverside, San Marco, and Springfield show established street grids, while newer developments like Ortega Forest and Magnolia Gardens reflect mid-century growth. The map documents an extensive social infrastructure of the era, including numerous facilities such as St Vincents Hosp, Brewster Hospital, and dozens of local schools including New Stanton High Sch. Cultural and historical landmarks like Treaty Oak Park and the expansive Evergreen Cemetery are situated alongside the rising modern Expressway system and the Fuller Warren Bridge.
