1949 Map of Middleburg

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork and South Fork of Black Creek forms the geographical heart of this Clay County landscape. Middleburg sits prominently at this junction, where the river system historically facilitated timber transport and early commerce. Further northeast, the settlement of Doctors Inlet borders the wide expanse of Doctors Lake, reflecting the area's transition toward the ST Johns River drainage. The terrain is marked by numerous low-lying wetlands and drainage features, including Bradley Creek, Peters Creek, and Polander Branch, which define the rural boundaries between early homesteads and airfields like Middleburg Airport and Foremost Airfield.
