About this map

Marietta and the surrounding Duval County landscape are captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion and military utility. The western edge of the map is dominated by aviation interests, including the Naval Air Station (Whitehouse Field) and the northern reaches of Naval Air Station (Cecil Field), while Herlong Airport serves civil aviation needs to the east. The transportation network is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and arterial routes like Commonwealth Avenue and Normandy Blvd.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds such as Pinkston Cem, Sellers Cem, and Parrish Cem, often situated near rural junctions. The transition from industrial and rail-oriented settlements like Whitehouse and Pickettville to residential developments such as Normandy Village and Cedar Hills Estates illustrates the postwar growth of the Jacksonville periphery. Local landmarks including the Joseph Stilwell Jr High Sch and Jones Road Ch provide specific points of interest for family history researchers.
