1956 Map of St. Augustine Beach

About this map

Anastasia Island dominates the eastern landscape of this Florida coastal survey, separated from the mainland by the Matanzas River and the Intracoastal Waterway. The map captures a mid-century period of development as the community of St Augustine Beach and the recreational areas of Anastasia State Recreation Area and Butler Beach County Park take shape along the coast. Further south, the settlements of Mickler and Crescent Beach line the narrow barrier strip, while the inland areas show older rural landmarks.
