About this map

Fort George Island and the coastal marshes of the St Johns River define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The area is dense with historical sites, ranging from the Kingsley Plantation on the northern end of the island to the Ribault Monument and Fort Caroline National Memorial to the southwest. The settlement of Mayport sits at the river's mouth, overshadowed by the expansive Mayport Naval Station and its turning basin.

Ecological and preservation boundaries, such as the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve, reflect a transition toward conservation amid sensitive wetlands like Cabbage Hammock Swamp and Greys Swamp. Family history is anchored by the Anderson Cem and Talbot Island Cem, while the Intracoastal Waterway snakes through Sisters Creek and Gunnison Cut, highlighting the maritime infrastructure essential to Duval County's coastline.
