1964 Map of Orange Park

About this map

The St Johns River dominates the landscape of this 1960s survey, separating the growing residential developments of Orange Park from the established communities of Mandarin and East Mandarin. The map captures a period of significant military and suburban expansion, anchored by the sprawling facilities of the Jacksonville Naval Air Station and the U S Naval Reservation on Creighton Island. Infrastructure like the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads trace the western corridor through Yukon and Ortega Hills, while the riverside terrain is punctuated by historical landmarks like Laurel Grove Cem and Orange Park Landing. Residential growth is evident in the layout of neighborhoods such as Venetia Terrace and Meadorbrook Terrace, contrasting with the more open, wetland-rich areas surrounding Doctors Lake and Moccasin Slough.
