1952 Map of Jacksonville South

About this map

The Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal landscape south of Jacksonville, showing the extensive mid-century footprint of the Marine Corps base. The terrain is defined by the widening New River and its brackish tributaries, including Northeast Creek and Southwest Creek, which carve deep into the low-lying pine forests and marshes. This 1952 survey captures the military infrastructure of the era, notably the Peters Point Field Glider Base situated on a peninsula above the river.
