About this map

Jacksonville Naval Air Station dominates the northern riverfront of this mid-1990s survey, showing a complex layout of runways, hangers, and specialized facilities like the NAS Chapel and NAS Hospital. The geography is defined by the massive confluence of the St Johns River and Doctors Inlet, with the Buckman Bridge providing a critical arterial link between the residential communities of Orange Park and Mandarin.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family and community landmarks, including the historic Magnolia Cem near the Orange Park Post Office and the Mandarin Cem on the eastern shore. The landscape transitions from the dense suburban grids of Wesconnett and Bellair to the more open, marshy reaches of Creighton Island and Moccasin Slough in the south, reflecting the suburban expansion into the riverine wetlands of Clay and Duval Counties.
