1964 Map of Mayport

About this map

Fort George Island and the coastal marshes of the St Johns River delta dominate this 1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by both its colonial history and its cold war naval importance. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the sprawling Mayport Naval Station and the settlement of Mayport, where the North Jetty and South Jetty channel marine traffic from the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, the transition to the sea is marked by the sprawling wetlands surrounding Talbot Island and Little Talbot Island.
