About this map

The Saint Johns River dominates this coastal portion of Saint Johns County, where the river widens significantly before narrowing at the Shands Bridge. Along the eastern bank, established riverside communities such as Picolata and Bass Haven sit amid a network of coves and points, including Colee Cove and Ferreira Point. The interior landscape is defined by the winding paths of Sixmile Creek and Trout Creek, which drain into the river through areas like Mud Alley and Dancey Flat.

Further inland, the map captures the transition from shoreline settlements to more structured residential developments and rural tracts. The presence of Bakersville Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the area north of Meldrim Park. Small settlements like Florence and Palmo are connected by a web of local routes including SR-13 and CR-16a, showing the modern infrastructure overlaying a landscape still deeply influenced by its tidal waterways and expansive wetlands.
