Jacksonville Maps and Orientation

(Jacksonville, Florida - FL, USA)

Located on the far northeastern side of Florida, the city of Jacksonville lies within the county of Duval, where it is the county seat.

Jacksonville is surrounded in most directions by national parks and reserves, including the Timucuan Ecological Historic Preserve, the Little Talbot Island State Park and the Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park, all of which are to be found to the northeast. The Four Creeks State Forest is sited to the northwest, while the Cary State Forest is to the west and the Jennings State Forest to the southwest. Head southwards and you will soon reach the Bayard Conservation Area.

Interstate I-95 is a prominent thoroughfare in Jacksonville, passing right through the city center, roughly in a north to south direction. Encircling the entire city is Interstate I-295, which connects all of the suburbs and neighboring towns. Various bridges span the St. John's River, such as the Matthews Bridge, the Fuller Warren Bridge and the Henry H. Buckman Bridge, the latter of which is a part of the I-295.
