About this map

Jacksonville Naval Air Station and the sprawling training grounds of the U S Naval Air Station dominate the northern peninsula, illustrating the massive military presence along the St Johns River during the mid-20th century. Across the water, the historic settlement of Mandarin retains its residential character, anchored by the Mandarin Cem and neighborhood landmarks like the Community Hall. The geography of the region is defined by the broad expanse where Doctors Inlet meets the river, creating a complex series of coves and points such as Mulberry Cove and Plummers Point.
