About this map

Mayport Naval Station dominates the southern reaches of this maritime landscape, where the St Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The coastal geography is defined by a dense network of estuarine marshes and islands, protected in part by the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve. To the north, the barrier islands of Big Talbot Island and Little Talbot Island provide a buffer against the sea, separated by the winding Simpson Creek.

Evidence of early Florida settlement and strategic military importance is visible through landmarks like Fort Caroline National Memorial and the village of Mayport. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Anderson Cem and Talbot Island Cem, while the rugged shoreline is dotted with features like Mt Cornelia on Fort George Island. The Intracostal Waterway threads through these tidal flats, connecting the Fort George River with the Nassau Sound.
