1919 Map of St Marys

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The St Marys waterfront and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Nassau County define this landscape just after the first World War. The region relies heavily on water-based transport and the Seaboard Air Line railway, which connects inland points like Gross and Becker to the coast. This era shows a network of family-named river landings, such as Deese Landing, Joels Landing, and Seaton Landing, indicating a time when the Nassau River and St Marys River were vital arteries for movement and commerce before modern road development took hold. Social life in the outlying rural districts is anchored by a series of numbered and named schoolhouses, including Italia School, Evergreen School, and Holly Grove School. Large swaths of the terrain consist of expansive wetlands like Mc Queen Swamp and Plummer Swamp, illustrating the natural obstacles faced by early settlers in the Florida-Georgia borderlands.
