About this map

The St Johns River anchors this urban landscape, where the sprawling industrial and residential growth of mid-century Florida is clearly visible. Waterfront activity is concentrated around Municipal Terminals and the drydocks at Commodore Point, while the city's sports and civic identity centers on the Gator Bowl and Coliseum. The transportation network is in a period of significant expansion, featuring the Fuller Warren Bridge and Mathews Bridge connecting the downtown core to eastern neighborhoods like St Nicholas.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of specific landmarks, from established cemeteries like Evergreen Cemetery to institutional hubs like Brewster Hospital and Union Station. The residential character of the era is preserved in the detailed street grids of neighborhoods such as Riverside, Avondale, and Ortega, which are interspersed with numerous community anchors like the Gospel Tabernacle and Rutherford High Sch. Extensive purple overprinting reflects urban developments and roadway changes recorded between the early 1960s and the 1990s.
