1950 Map of Mayport

About this map

Fort George Island and its prominent Mt Cornelia anchor the center of this coastal landscape, where the St Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a complex aquatic geography of tidal marshes and hammocks, including Black Hammock Island and the thin barrier stretches of Little Talbot Island. At the southern edge, the settlement of East Mayport sits near a large U S Coast Guard Training Sta (Inactive) and an Abandoned Lighthouse, signaling the area's maritime and military importance.
