About this map

Cecil Field Naval Air Station and the OLF Whitehouse U S Navy airfield anchor the western edge of this Duval County landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint in the region during the mid-20th century. Suburban expansion is evident in the burgeoning residential blocks of Normandy Village, Cedar Hills Estates, and Sweetwater, which contrast with the older, more dispersed settlements like Marietta and Whitehouse. These neighborhoods are linked by a developing transportation network, including the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the emerging freeway interchanges near Hyde Grove.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in smaller landmarks like Pinkston Cem, Sellers Cem, and Parrish Cem. The geography is defined by the drainage of Sixmile Creek, McGirts Creek, and the Ortega River, which wind through pockets of woodland and marshy terrain such as Bulls Bay. The presence of Herlong Airport and various schools, such as Oak Hill Sch and Cedar Hills Sch, underscores the transition from rural Florida to a structured metropolitan fringe.
