2012 Map of Spuds

About this map

Agricultural patterns and local transit corridors define this Saint Johns County landscape, where the settlements of Spuds and Byrd are positioned along the primary rail and road routes. The topography is dominated by the meandering path of Deep Cr, which drains the surrounding plains. The presence of Hutson Airfield suggests the importance of local aviation in this rural pocket of Florida, while the name Spuds reflects the region's historic identity in potato farming. Near Gopher Ridge, a grid of residential streets indicates more recent community development, contrasting with the expansive open tracts that characterize the northern portion of the survey. Significant local thoroughfares like Cowpen Branch Rd link these small centers, illustrating the infrastructure supporting both the farming economy and local connectivity in the early 21st century.
