1954 Map of Jacksonville

About this map

Jacksonville sits at the northern edge of this landscape, showing its mid-century footprint alongside the Drive-in Theater and Mt Pisgah Church. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bayou Meto and Two Prairie Bayou, where the land transitions from the developed outskirts into the low-lying wetlands of Cypress Brake and Forty Point Lake. This survey captures a moment of suburban expansion, with later revisions in purple marking the growth of residential areas and the footprint of a Trailer Park.
