📜 A Look Back at the St. Johns River — Florida History on Paper
Check out this historic preliminary chart of the St. Johns River, dating all the way back to the mid-1800s! Maps like this helped shape early navigation, settlement, and scientific understanding of one of Florida’s most iconic waterways.
🌊 Cool Facts About the St. Johns River:
• It’s one of the few rivers in North America that flows north — starting in Blue Cypress Lake near Vero Beach and winding 310 miles to Jacksonville.
• Its incredibly slow flow — the river’s slope is less than 1 inch per mile — makes it one of the laziest rivers in the United States.
• The river’s marshes and floodplains act as natural water filters, improving water quality and providing habitat for alligators, bald eagles, manatees, and hundreds of fish and bird species.
• SJRWMD plays a key role in protecting and restoring the river through acquiring and conserving floodplain wetlands, wetland restoration, water quality projects, , and responsible water use planning.
🗺️ Maps like this remind us how far Florida’s water science has come — and why protecting the St. Johns River remains at the heart of our mission.
