1952 Map of Orange Park

About this map

The St Johns River dominates this mid-century portrait of Clay and Duval counties, where the sprawling Jacksonville Naval Air Station stands as a massive military presence at Black Point. The landscape reflects a mix of growing suburban nodes and older riverfront settlements like Orange Park and Mandarin. Along the western bank, the Atlantic Coast Line railroad runs parallel to the river, servicing communities from Yukon down through the narrow passage at Doctors Inlet.
