About this map

The Saint Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean at this strategic coastal corridor, a landscape defined by maritime industry and military operations. The prominent Mayport Naval Station and the USCG Base Mayport Wharf anchor the southern bank, while the Saint Johns Light stands near Seminole Beach. This area is a complex network of marshes and islands, including Talbot Island and Fort George Island, connected by the Intracoastal Waterway.

Historical traces of the region’s earlier character remain visible through family-named sites like Anderson Cem and the Talbot Island Cem. The terrain rises at Mount Cornelia and Saint Johns Bluff, overlooking a maze of tidal creeks such as Sisters Cr and Pumpkin Hill Cr. From the small settlements of Lengle and Daniel to the vast protected reaches of Little Talbot Is State Park, the map documents a unique intersection of naval defense and sensitive coastal ecosystems.
