1956 Map of St. Augustine Beach
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Anastasia Island dominates this coastal survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the shifting interface of the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate tidal waters of the Matanzas River. During the mid-1950s, the development of beach communities like St Augustine Beach and Butler Beach was taking shape along the narrow barrier strand, while the inland areas remained characterized by scattered settlements and agricultural tracts. The Florida East Coast rail line and road network parallel the coast, connecting older inland points like Moultrie to the burgeoning waterfront.
