About this map

The maritime landscape of Mayport and the surrounding islands of Duval County are defined by the convergence of the Saint Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal region is anchored by the NS Mayport naval facilities and the Mayport Naval Station, while the extensive wetlands of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve protect the archaeological and natural heritage of the area. Significant historical markers include the Fort Caroline National Memorial and the Fort George Island cultural sites.

Navigational features like the St Johns River Ferry and the Mayport Cut Range reflect the area's long-standing strategic importance for river traffic. Local family and community history is preserved in small sites like Anderson Cem and the Talbot Island Cem. The map traces the intricate waterways of the Intracoastal Waterway, including Sawpit Creek and Gunnison Cut, which separate barrier islands like Little Talbot Island and Black Hammock Island from the Florida mainland.
