1964 Map of Trout River

About this map

The Trout River and its many winding tributaries like Cedar Creek and Ribault River dominate this coastal landscape north of Jacksonville. During the mid-1960s, this area was a mix of established residential neighborhoods and significant institutional footprints. To the north, the sprawling Jacksonville International Airport and States Air National Guard facility mark the era's infrastructure growth. Neighborhoods such as Riverview, Lake Forest, and Sherwood Forest show dense suburban development, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad facilitates transport through communities like Dinsmore. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a vital resource for locating numerous burial grounds, including the Restlawn Mem Park, the Duval County Paupers Cem, and several smaller cemeteries like Mt Olive Cem and Pickett Cem. The riverfront is also home to the Jacksonville Zoo and the US Navy Fuel Depot, reflecting the region's diverse recreational and military utility.
