1949 Map of Picolata

About this map

The St Johns River shoreline anchors this late 1940s landscape, where small riverfront settlements and agricultural outposts dot the eastern bank. In the vicinity of Picolata, the map documents local community structures like the Picolata Sch and Mt Pleasant Ch, which served as focal points for the rural population of the era. To the north, the crossing at Shands Bridge connects St. Johns County to Clay County, while the interior is marked by drainage systems such as Trout Creek and Sixmile Creek. The presence of the Trout Creek Airport (Abandoned) and various Silos suggests a transition in local land use. Other river landings and small communities including Magnolia Landing, Palmo, and Tocoi are clearly delineated, reflecting the area's historical reliance on the waterway for transportation and commerce.
