About this map

San Mateo and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape where the Saint Johns River meets a network of creeks and sloughs. The presence of the San Mateo Cem and Yelvington Cem provides valuable geographic anchors for genealogists, while the settlement at Yelvington sits near the county line among extensive marshes like Hell Cat Bay. The map captures a transitional zone between riverine systems and the interior's larger water bodies, including Lake Broward and the northern reaches of Crescent Lake.

Transportation corridors including the BNCFL Airport and numerous local roads like San Mateo Rd connect small landings and communities such as Sisco and Pomona Landing. The intricate hydrography, from Dunns Creek to the tangled reaches of Long Swamp, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this Florida region. This survey documents the intersection of Putnam, St. Johns, and Flagler counties during a period of modern rural development.
