About this map

St Augustine stands as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated between the San Sebastian River and the Matanzas River. At the mouth of the harbor, the historic Fort Marion remains a prominent landmark overlooking the Atlantic. The city's mid-century footprint is detailed with specialized institutions like the Florida Deaf & Blind Institute and the Florida Normal & Industrial Institute, alongside the residential growth of College Park and Davis Shores.

Coastal geography dominates the northern reaches, where the Guano River and North River parallel the shoreline. Along the barrier islands, Vilano Beach and Usina Beach are connected to the mainland via State Highway No 78. Transportation and maritime infrastructure are well-represented, from the St Augustine Landing Field to the St Augustine Lighthouse Reservation on Anastasia Island, providing a clear picture of the region's pre-war coastal development.
