1981 Map of Saint Augustine

About this map

The St Johns River dominates the central corridor of this 1981 survey, serving as a massive waterway that separates the agricultural interior from the coastal settlements of St Augustine. Along its banks, the river connects historical hubs like Palatka and Welaka, while its wide stretches are marked by landmarks like Murphy Island and Federal Point. To the west, the landscape transitions into the heavily managed terrain of the Camp Blanding military installation and the Camp Blanding Wildlife Management Area, featuring a dense concentration of smaller lakes such as Kingsley Lake and Lake Johnson. The eastern edge is defined by the Matanzas River and the Atlantic coastline, where Anastasia Island and Vilano Beach stand between the mainland and the ocean. Inland transportation is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which links smaller farming communities like Hastings, Spuds, and Florahome.
