About this map

The Jacksonville International Airport and the adjacent State Air National Guard base anchor the northern landscape of this Duval County survey, showing the mid-century aviation infrastructure north of the city center. This area is defined by the convergence of the Trout River, Ribault River, and the massive St Johns River, creating a complex network of bayous and creeks. Residential expansion is visible in the suburban grids of Highlands, Harbor View, and Garden City, often centered around community institutions like Ribault High Sch and Sherwood Forest Sch.

Industrial and military footprints are prominent along the waterways, specifically the US Navy Fuel Depot and the US Coast Guard Sta near Sandfly Point. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including the Restlawn Mem Park (Cem) and the Duval County Paupers Cem, alongside established churches like St Pauls Ch. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad and major arteries like Dunn Avenue illustrate the transport corridors that fueled the growth of Jacksonville's northern suburbs during this era.
