About this map

Military aviation infrastructure dominates this 1949 landscape at the boundary of Duval and Clay counties. The expansive Cecil Naval Auxiliary Air Station and the distinctive radial layout of Branan Outlying Air Field signify the strategic importance of this region in the post-war era. These facilities are set against a backdrop of low-lying wetlands and winding drainage systems including Ortega Creek, Yellow Water Creek, and Sal Taylor Creek, illustrating the complex task of carving out modern runways from the native Florida terrain.
