1981 Map of Saint Augustine

About this map

The St Johns River anchors this regional study, winding northward through a landscape of wetlands, state parks, and historic settlements as it appeared in the early 1980s. Along the Atlantic coast, the ancient city of St Augustine and its neighboring Anastasia Island show a developed coastline featuring Anastasia State Park and St Augustine Beach. Inland, the map documents the critical water and transport infrastructure of Northeast Florida, from the Cross Florida Barge Canal and Rodman Reservoir in the south to the military grounds of Camp Blanding in the northwest. The rail-and-river economy is visible through the Florida East Coast Railway and Seaboard Coast Line tracks that connect river towns like Palatka and Green Cove Springs to the coast. This era records the region before significant modern suburban expansion, preserving the layout of older communities such as Penney Farms and Bostwick.
