Map of the British Empire in the Americas. An Indian village called Ivantanoa.

Florida, called by ye French Louisiana & San Francisco [de Pupo], may be shown, but as seen from a 1776 map. San Francisco and [San Francisco de] Poppa are two distinct places.

Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi. Illatamaa (may be a corruption of Ivantanoa).

Map of East Florida. The map shows the [Apalachee] trail from St. Augustine westward to St. Mark / Apalache. Fort Poppa [Pupo] is shown on the trail.

The Peninsula and Gulf of Florida or Channel of Bahama. The Clay County area appears to be copied from the 1769 map since the places (Pupo) and features are identical.

A General Map of the Southern British Colonies in America. The [Apalachee] trail from St. Augustine to St. Marks is shown. Poppa [Pupo] and Joltanoga are on the trail.

A new and general map of the southern dominions. The Clay County area appears to have been copied from the 1776 Sayer and Bennett map since the places (Pupo and Joltanoga) and the features are identical.

A Map of the United States: compiled chiefly from The State Maps. The Clay County area appears to have been copied from the 1776 Sayer and Bennett map since the places (Pupo and Joltanoga) and the features are identical. However, the St. Augustine to St. Mark [Apalachee] trail is no longer shown.

A new map of part of the United States of North America. The Clay County area appears to have been copied from the 1776 Sayer and Bennett map since the places (Pupo and Joltanoga) and the features are identical.

Composite of the West Indies. The St. Augustine to St. Marktrail is shown, but now only Poppa [Pupo] is shown.

Map of the United States. The Clay County area appears to have been copied from the 1796 Carey map since the places (Pupo) and the features (no trail) are identical.

Southern Section of the United States, including Florida. This map shows distances on the Apalachee trail. From Poppa to Jotanoja is 25 miles. This would put Jotanoja (Joltanoja) inside the boundary of Clay County, possibly at the forks of Black Creek or in the Keystone Heights area.

Florida. This map shows Ft. Poppa [Pupo] on the Apalachee trail but shows Jocanoja (Joltanoga) above it.

Map of Florida. Black Creek and its prongs are fairly accurately shown for the first time. The Old Indian Boundary established by the British to keep the peace is shown. Also shown for the first time is “Doctors Creek & Lake” and “Flemings L[and]”

The Apalachee trail, Pupo, and Jurlanoga are no longer shown, but a trail from Jacksonville crossing Black Creek and going west is shown.

Map of Florida

The Clay County area appears to have been copied from the 1823 Vignoles map since the places (Doctors Lake and Fleming Land) and the features are identical.

However, in other areas, features are different. For example, Micanopy (Wanton) is now an important stop on the old Apalachee trail.

Map of Florida

Very poorly drawn map of our area, not showing as much detail as the Vignoles map, and no place names in the Clay County area. However, it does show two trails that lead to Micanopy (Wanton). The Northern one is the old Apalachee trail. The southern one crosses St. Johns at Palatka via the “Alachua Ferry,” with terminuses at Micanopy and St. Augustine.

Florida

A poor map compared with Swift’s 1829 one. It shows few features in the Clay County area. It shows The old Apalachee trail in place, without Micanopy. Only Black Creek is named.

Map of the state of Florida

A poor map showing almost the Clay County area.

Carte generale des Etats-Unis d’Amerique

While showing a few features in the Clay County area, it shows the route of the proposed canal and Old Hut between the forks of Black Creek. This may be Jurlanoga.

Map of Florida

A very important map, being the first to show Garey’s Ferry, the Travers grant, The General Clinch grant (Bayard), and White Sulphor (White Sulphur – Green Cove Springs). It also shows Doctors Lake, Black Creek, Kingsley Pond (Kingsley Lake).

It shows a road from Kingsley Lake through Garey’s Ferry and onto Jacksonville and a trail from Putnam north along the western Bayard border.

Lastly, it shows “Herbert,” just west of the Travers Grant. This is not referred to on other maps or found in other historical references.

Florida

Minimal detail and no roads. Only the Travers and Bayard grants are shown as dots.

Seat of War

Shows Ft. Heileman at Garey’s Ferry, along the road from Ft. Harlee to Jacksonville.

Map of Florida Exhibiting the Post Offices, Post Roads, Canals, Rail Roads

For the first time Whitesville is shown, but no other place names. A proposed canal is shown following the trail from Newnansville through Whitesville to north Jacksonville.

Florida

Perhaps copied from the 1838 Hood map showing the same details: Ft. Heileman, Garey’s Ferry, and the road from Ft. Harlee to Jacksonville.

State of Florida

Shows the proposed railroad through Middleburg (never built). Place names are Whitesville, Ft. Heileman, Garey’s Ferry, and “Wee Iouka” (could be Wee Louka) — an area just west of the St. Johns, not referred to by any historical reference.

Map of Florida

Shows Garey’s Ferry, Whitesville, sitting on the road to Newnansville

Map of the United States

Shows Whitesville on the road from Newnansville to Jacksonville

Florida

Appears to be copied from 1850 Thomas since Garey’s Ferry and Whitesville sit identically on the road to Newnansville.

Sketch map of Northeast Florida showing the Florida Railroad

The creek system in Clay County is well charted. The only place name is Trail Ridge Station.

Military Map of the United States

It shows only Ft. Heileman.

• McIntosh Steam Mill
• Sugar Works (Sugar Mill) on the north side of Doctors Lake

• Steam Mill and Hotel at Magnolia
• Hibernia with houses
• Palan with houses
• Mrs. Monroes (which must have been rebuilt, or the map is incorrect

• The Florida Railroad with the Trail Ridge [station]
• The Federal Road (or Bellamy Road)
• A network of roads radiating from Middleburg

Drew’s New Map of the State of Florida

The first mention of Green Cove Springs on a map on the eve of its incorporation.

Middleburg, Hibernia, and Doctors Lake are also shown.

The outline of Laurel Grove is shown.

Florida

This high-level map doesn’t show much detail, but it does show Laurel Grove, Hibernia, Green Cove Springs and Middleburg.

In addition, it shows a proposed canal from Webster to the Santaffe River, a little north of Waldo.

Long Leaf Pine and Clear Cutting

Shows that most of Clay County had been clear-cut. For an explanation, read about timber and sawmills.

Progress Sketch Sec. VI, East Coast of Florida from Amelia Island to Halifax

One of a series of visual navigation aids on the west side of the St. John’s in Clay County, including Fire (at Duval County line), Doctor (Orange Park), Lake (where Doctors Lake bridge touches Fleming Island), Ragged (Raggedy Point), False, Middle, Hibernia, Wharf, White House, Fleming, Wilkies (just south of Black Creek), Magnolia (Point), (Magnolia) Hotel, David (Green Cove Springs), Clarendon (Hotel), White, Seppho, Draper, Red (Putnam County line) [from FL State Archives]

Hibernia and Green Cove Springs are also shown.

The Trail Ridge station is shown incorrectly outside the county.

Map of the Atlantic Coast Line

A stylized map showing only railroad stations.

J, T&KWY: Hibernia, Magnolia, Green Cove Springs

Florida Transit & Peninsular (old Florida Railroad): Highland (and Maxville just outside the county line).

New Map of Florida

The Florida Railroad is shown with the Highland stop, and Brainerd is not shown.

The J, T&KW stops are Orange Park, Fleming, Magnolia, Green Cove Springs, Clinch, and West Tocoi.

The Green Cove Springs & Melrose is depicted oddly and perhaps aspirationally. The line is dashed (perhaps “completed”) on the eastern segment and shows Sharon on the line and Novella and Belmore just off the line. It is solid to Melrose (perhaps “planned”) and shows a McRae stop (which, when completed, was off the line.

Several places are named off railroad lines, including Blue Pond, Sand Hill Lake, Crystal Lake, Kingsley Pond, Wilderness, Ionia, and Middleburgh.

Lands for Sale in Florida

This map is similar to the 1888 Plant map, except land ownership is filled in.

It is unclear yet how the railroad received land grants in the interior of Clay County, far away from the lines. Perhaps the sections within six miles had already been purchased, and the grants were awarded farther away. In any case, there are dozens of sections owned by the railroad.

The Florida Railroad is shown with the Highland stop, but Brainerd is just off the line.

The J, T&KW stops are Orange Park, Peoria, Black Creek, Fleming, Magnolia, Green Cove Springs, Melrose Crossing, Walkill, and West Tocoi.

The Green Cove Springs & Melrose (on the map called the WN of Fla) is short, only running from Melrose Crossing (Clinch’s Bayard) to Florence Mills (shown with “Novella P.O.” under it) and ending at Sharon. Belmore is shown beyond the line.

Several places are named off railroad lines, including Blue Pond, Kingsley’s Pond, Sand Hill Lake, Middleburg, Webster, Ionia, McRae, Melrose, Wilderness, and Lake Geneva.

New Sectional Map of Florida

The Green Cove Springs & Melrose (on the map called the WN of Fla) is short, only running from Melrose Crossing (Clinch’s Bayard) to Florence Mills (shown with “Novella P.O.” under it) and ending at Sharon. Belmore is shown beyond the line.

Several places are named off railroad lines, including Blue Pond, Kingsley’s Pond, Sand Hill Lake, Middleburg, Webster, Ionia, McRae, Melrose, Wilderness, and Lake Geneva.

Railroads and Counties of Florida

The map is undated, and the Florida State Archives estimates 1887. However, based on the depicted extent of the Green Cove Springs & Melrose Railroad, the map is after 1888 and before 1891.

The Florida Railroad is shown with the Highland stop, but Brainerd is just off the line.

The J,T&KW stops are Orange Park, Ridgewood (the only reference known to this station name, where Peoria usually is), Black Creek, Fleming, Magnolia, Green Cove Springs, Melrose Crossing, Clinch’s, West Tocoi.

The Green Cove Springs & Melrose (shown but not labeled) is uncompleted, only having these stops: Melrose Crossing, Clinch (the only reference known to this station name), Peters Creek (the only reference known to this station name), Florence Mills, Sharon, Belmore and extending a bit beyond.

Several places are named off railroad lines, including Kingsley Lake, Sand Hill Lake, Middleburgh, Ionia, Kingsley, McRae, Brooklyn, Melrose, Wilderness, and Lake Geneva.

Waller (or Walter) is shown on the South Fork of Black Creek.

An intriguing “Middleburg, Highland and Lake Butler.” connects Middleburg, Highland, and “Log Wharfs.” This railroad is otherwise unknown, perhaps being a temporary timberline.

<a href=”http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/gmd:@field(NUMBER+@band(g3931p+rr001970))” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Shippers Guide</a>

Appears to be a copy of their 1897 map with red stamps as abbreviations for railroads.

A railroad map, which, unfortunately, incorrectly shows a “26” for the Ocala and Silver Springs RR in Clay County. There could be an err when the Middleburg, Highland, and Lake Butler RR was taken off the map, either because it was no longer in operation or was only a timberline. It would have appeared in the list just before the Ocala line.

Charles A. Brown was a real estate agent in Jacksonville. He owned what is now the Holly Point area of Orange Park. He arranged for the land sale to Yerkes for the Monkey Farm. This map shows the JT&KW railroad but not State Highway 3, probably between 1884 and 1917.

It has one of the only references to Tululu Springs, which Brown may have also owned.
