About this map

Macclenny serves as the focal point of this 1917 survey, situated at the junction of the Seaboard Airline railway and the Jacksonville Road. The surrounding landscape is defined by the prominent elevation of Trail Ridge, which provides a topographical backbone above the complex hydrologic networks of Barber Bay and the winding St Marys River at the Georgia-Florida border.

A notable concentration of agricultural industry is evident in the numerous nurseries south of the rail line, including the Glen St Mary Nursery, Griffin Nursery, and Turkey Creek Nursery. The map records a dense network of rural community centers, such as Macedon Church and Oak Grove School, alongside family-named landmarks like Smith Bridge and Stokes Bridge, offering a precise record of early 20th-century settlement before modern development altered the Baker County interior.
