About this map

Ponte Vedra Beach and the neighboring community of Ponte Vedra define the Atlantic coast on this map, illustrating the early 1960s development and land use along the shoreline. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight north-south path through the center of the sheet, separating the coastal residential areas from the expansive wetlands to the west. This inland landscape is dominated by the vast Durbin Swamp and Cabbage Swamp, where numerous watercourses like Pablo Creek and Boggy Branch meander through the low-lying terrain.

Evidence of local connectivity is seen at Palm Valley Landing and the Palm Valley Bridge, which provided essential crossing points across the waterway. The map also records the location of the Ponte Vedra-Palm Valley Sch and small inland settlements such as Twentymile. To the south, the Guana River emerges, while features like Ragged Island and Scrub Ridge provide topographic detail to the dense marshlands.
