1949 Map of Riverdale

About this map

The St Johns River serves as the central artery for this mid-century landscape where St. Johns, Clay, and Putnam counties converge. The eastern bank is defined by a series of landings and points, such as Lane Landing and Magnolia Point, suggesting a river-oriented economy before the expansion of modern highways. Settled pockets at Riverdale and Federal Point represent established communities along the waterfront, while the Atlantic Coast Line railroad runs parallel to the western shore, connecting West Tocoi to the broader regional network. The interior is characterized by a complex drainage system, with Deep Creek and McCullough Creek winding through low-lying areas. Numerous named points like Deadman Point and Ninemile Point serve as distinct landmarks along the wide river channel, reflecting the historic importance of waterborne navigation in Northeast Florida.
