1980 Map of Jacksonville

About this map

The St Johns River anchors this 1980 study, carving through the heart of Jacksonville and widening into Doctors Lake as it flows south toward Orange Park and Green Cove Springs. This map captures a significant military and maritime landscape, detailing the expansive Cecil Field Naval Air Station and the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, while the Intracoastal Waterway snakes behind the barrier islands of Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach. Cultural and historical landmarks like the Kingsley Plantation State Historic Site on Fort George Island and the Fort Caroline National Memorial are clearly marked. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the timberlands of Cary State Forest and the training grounds of Camp Blanding (National Guard), while the northern reaches show the complex wetlands surrounding Black Hammock Island and Nassau Sound.
