2024 Map of Orangedale

About this map

Fruit Cove and Orangedale anchor this detailed study of the northern St. Johns County corridor. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Durbin Creek and the intricate wetlands of Big Island Swamp and Flat Swamp. Historical river crossings and lowlands are noted at Whites Ford and Blacks Ford, while the namesake Orangedale sits at the southern edge of the sheet. Modern suburban development, indicated by a dense network of residential loops such as Larkspur Loop and Sparrow Branch Cir, pushes against established natural features like Gopher Island and Fever Hammock. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Julington Creek Cem and Sampson Cem, which mark the community's early settlement roots amidst the expanding footprint of modern Jacksonville.
