1972 Map of St Johns Park

About this map

Crescent Lake dominates the western portion of this coastal Florida landscape, where the boundaries of Flagler, Putnam, and Volusia counties meet amidst an intricate network of waterways and wetlands. The settlement of St Johns Park sits at the junction of Bull Creek and the Dead Lake basin, serving as a focal point for the region's interior drainage. To the north, the small community of Andalusia is positioned near Shell Bluff Landing, while the expansive White Oak Swamp and its namesake White Oak Branch illustrate the low-lying, saturated nature of the terrain. The map details a complex shoreline of points and coves, including Grimsley Neck, Fish Hawk Point, and the secluded Grimsley Cove. This 1970s survey captures a rural landscape defined by slow-moving waters like Haw Creek and Little Haw Creek, where large tracts of land remain characterized by timber and marsh rather than dense urban development.
