About this map

The St Johns River and Ortega River define the layout of this urban landscape, where mid-century infrastructure meets long-established residential neighborhoods. The survey highlights a period of intense industrial and transit development, centering on the Union Station rail hub and the expansive Municipal Terminals along the waterfront near Tallyrand. Large institutional grounds like Evergreen Cemetery and the many schools, such as Northwestern High Sch and Lee High Sch, reveal the city's social fabric.

Neighborhoods ranging from the riverfront estates of Ortega and Avondale to the working-class districts of Murray Hill and Brentwood are shown in high detail. Notable landmarks of the era include the Gator Bowl, Jacksonville Medical Center, and the numerous radio towers that dotted the skyline, such as Radio Tower (WJAX). The map also records the complex drainage system of the Florida lowlands, tracing the paths of McCoy Creek and Moncrief Creek as they move through the urban core toward the St. Johns.
