About this map

The confluence of the ST Johns River, Trout River, and Ribault River anchors this mid-century portrait of northern Jacksonville. The landscape is a study in Cold War era infrastructure, dominated by the sprawling Jacksonville International Airport and the nearby State Air National Guard facility. This period of rapid suburbanization is evident in the residential developments of Sherwood Forest, Highlands, and Lake Forest, which are interspersed among established sites like the US Navy Fuel Depot and the Seaboard Coast Line tracks.

Local history is preserved in several key landmarks, from the Almadale Christian Sch to the quiet Paupers Cem and Restlawn Mem Park (Cem). The map details the transition of the riverfront, showing a mix of commercial sites like the US Coast Guard Sta and recreational points such as Lake Bethesda Park. The layout of early transit corridors like Main Street and New Kings Road highlights the area's growth before the full expansion of the interstate system.
