About this map

Marietta and its surrounding Duval County communities undergo a period of rapid suburban expansion and military readiness as documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major infrastructure, including the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and a network of arterial roads like Beaver Street and Normandy Blvd. Military aviation plays a significant role in the area's geography, with the Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field) and Herlong Airport anchoring the western and central sectors.

Genealogical and local history markers are found in the numerous small settlements like Whitehouse, Pickettville, and Halsema. The map preserves the locations of established community hubs such as Jones Road Ch and Pinkston Cem, while newer residential developments like Normandy Village and Cedar Hills Estates signal the shifting land use from rural creek-side plots near McGirts Creek and the Ortega River toward dense suburban neighborhoods.
