About this map

The Saint Johns River defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, where the city of Palatka sits at a strategic bend near Palatka Point. The map documents a transition from the urban grid of the riverfront to the wetlands and pine flatwoods of the interior, such as Stripper Swamp and Rice Creek Swamp. Local transit and history are etched into the terrain through features like the Florida National Scenic Trail and the Memorial Bridge spanning the wide river.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Bardin, Springside, and Francis are scattered to the north and west, connected by routes such as Old Starke Rd and Old Railroad Ln. Genealogists will find value in the placement of Oak Hill Cem, Etonia Cem, and Saint Joseph Cem, while the inclusion of Saint Johns River Community College and the Palatka Municipal Airport illustrates the modern infrastructure serving Putnam County.
