About this map

Kingsley Plantation and the surrounding coastal marshlands dominate this 1964 survey of the Florida coast, revised with details through the late 1980s. The landscape is a complex network of barrier islands and tidal waterways, from Nassau Sound in the north to the mouth of the St Johns River. This area serves as a critical junction for maritime activity, featuring the expansive Mayport Naval Station and the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve.

Landmarks such as the Ribault Monument and Fort Caroline National Memorial emphasize the deep colonial and indigenous history of the Fort George Island vicinity. The map records several small island settlements and rural markers like Anderson Cem and St George Ch, alongside infrastructure like the North Jetty and South Jetty that stabilize the river entrance for the Mayport harbor. The transition from agricultural plantation history to modern naval operations and environmental preservation is clearly visible across Big Talbot Island and Little Talbot Island.
