1964 Map of Jacksonville Heights

About this map

Jacksonville Heights and its surrounding suburbs represent a period of significant mid-century growth along the Duval and Clay county line. The landscape is defined by the transition from aviation operations at U S Naval Air Station (Cecil Field) to the residential subdivisions of Oak Hill Park, Enchanted Park, and Westwood. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly rural and hydrologically complex, where the North Prong Black Creek and South Prong Black Creek converge amidst wetlands near Federal Hill. The presence of several sandpits indicates active local industry, while the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads provide the primary transportation corridors. The map also features notable recreational and community landmarks such as Camp Coacoochee and the northern tip of Doctors Lake at Sugarhouse Cove.
