2012 Map of Orange Park

About this map

The Saint Johns River dominates this landscape, serving as a massive geographical divide between the suburban developments of Mandarin and the industrial and military corridors of the west bank. On the northwestern shore, the Jacksonville Naval Air Station (Towers Field) stands as a major landmark near Yukon and Dewey Park, while the Henry H Buckman Bridge provides the critical transit link across the wide waterway. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Magnolia Cem near Johnson Slough and Mandarin Cem on the eastern peninsula. The transition from Duval County into Clay County is evident near Bellair, illustrating the southward expansion of the Jacksonville metropolitan area. Significant water features like Doctors Lake and Ortega River define the local neighborhoods, from the waterfront properties of Venetia to the winding creeks of East Mandarin.
