About this map

US Naval Air Station (Cecil Field-OLF Whitehouse) and Herlong Airport dominate the western and central landscape of this Duval County survey, illustrating the significant military and civil aviation footprint west of Jacksonville. The industrial and residential expansion of the early 1960s is evident in the transition from the wooded corridors of McGirts Creek and Sixmile Creek to the established neighborhoods of Normandy Village and Cedar Hills.

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad forms a primary east-west axis, anchoring settlements like Whitehouse and Marietta. Local history is preserved in several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including Pinkston Cem and Sellers Cem. Educational and spiritual centers such as Joseph Stilwell Jr High Sch and the Jones Road Ch serve as neighborhood anchors amidst the growing street networks of Jacksonville Heights and North Oak Hill.
