1982 Map of St Marks

About this map

St Marks and the adjacent settlement of Newport occupy a landscape where the river system meets the Gulf of Mexico. This 1982 orthophotomap provides a clear view of the marshy coastal environment within the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge, featuring several family and local cemeteries like Stewart Cem, Mays Cemetery, and Magnolia Cem. At the confluence of the Wakulla River and the St Marks River, the historic site of Fort San Marcos De Apalachee State Museum sits near the waterfront, while the Old Railroad Grade and The Florida Trail trace through the surrounding timber and wetlands. The map also records the presence of smaller rural congregations at New Mt Zion Church and Mt Pleasant Church, alongside hydrological features such as Newport Spring and Patterson Sink.
