About this map

The Trout River and its labyrinth of tributaries, including Cedar Creek and the Ribault River, define the landscape north of Jacksonville in the mid-1960s. This period captures a significant era of suburban expansion and infrastructure development, evident in the dense residential plottings of Ribault Manor, Lake Forest, and Highlands. The transportation network is a central theme, featuring the intersection of Interstate 95 and Heckscher Drive, alongside the sprawling grounds of Imeson Airport, then the city’s primary municipal airfield.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of community landmarks like the Greenwood Cem and Pinehurst Cem, as well as numerous neighborhood schools such as Biscayne Village Sch and Ephesus Academy. The riverfront's cultural role is signaled by the Jacksonville Zoo and a riverside Amusement Park, while the rail corridor of the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line highlights the area's ongoing industrial importance.
