About this map

Fort Matanzas stands as a focal point of this coastal survey, situated within the Fort Matanzas National Monument where the Matanzas River meets the sea. This landscape is defined by the narrow barrier of Anastasia Island and the complex tidal environment of the Matanzas Inlet. The transition from the developed settlement of Marineland to the expansive marshes of Pellicer Flats illustrates the geographic boundary between St. Johns and Flagler counties.

Modern infrastructure such as the Claude Varne Bridge and the A1A Beach Blvd corridor connects the coastal hamlets of Summer Haven and Crescent Beach. To the south, the emergence of Palm Coast indicates the residential expansion toward the Intracoastal Waterway, while inland features like Lake Rayonier One and Styles Cr mark the low-lying wetland drainage systems typical of this Florida shoreline.
