The Clay County Florida map covers a northeast Florida county where Jacksonville suburbs meet rivers, lakes, forests, military land, and rural communities. Green Cove Springs is the county seat, with Orange Park, Penney Farms, and Keystone Heights as the other municipalities.
Clay County was created from part of Duval County in 1858. The 2020 census counted 218,245 residents, with much of the recent urban growth concentrated in the northern part of the county.

Green Cove Springs and County Government
Green Cove Springs has served as the county seat since 1871. It stands on the western bank of the St. Johns River and contains the courthouse, county offices, a historic downtown, parks, and a natural spring.
The spring and river influenced transportation, settlement, and tourism. A general county map does not show the detailed downtown boundary or individual spring facilities.
Orange Park and the Northern Suburbs
Orange Park and nearby Fleming Island form part of the Jacksonville suburban corridor. Housing, hospitals, shopping, schools, and waterfront neighborhoods extend along the St. Johns River and Doctors Lake.
Orange Park is incorporated, while Fleming Island and Middleburg are large unincorporated communities. Municipal status and practical community size should therefore be distinguished.
Black Creek and River Recreation
Black Creek crosses the county and flows into the St. Johns River. Forests, wetlands, homes, parks, and boat access points line parts of the waterway.
Camp Chowenwaw Park provides paddling access near the creek’s confluence with the river. Current water levels, weather, and access rules should be checked before boating or paddling.
Keystone Heights and Camp Blanding
Keystone Heights is a small city in the southwestern lake region. Kingsley Lake and other lakes, pine forests, and rural roads create a landscape different from the more suburban northern county.
Camp Blanding is a major military training installation in western Clay County. Its wildlife management area covers more than 56,000 acres, but internal military boundaries and access points are not detailed on a general county map.
Growth and Regional Connections
Clay County’s position south of Jacksonville supports commuter growth, housing development, schools, healthcare, and retail. Interstate and highway access also connects the county with St. Augustine, Gainesville, and central Florida.
Despite suburban growth, large areas remain rural, forested, military, or water-oriented. Viewing the entire outline helps explain the contrast between North Clay and the southern interior.
Color Map
The color version separates Clay County from neighboring counties. It is suited to presentations that need Green Cove Springs, Orange Park, Keystone Heights, the St. Johns River, and Black Creek in one view.
Black-and-White Map
The black-and-white map removes color fills but keeps the county outline and selected place names. It can be printed in grayscale while retaining the main location information.
Outline Map
The outline version contains boundary lines without existing labels or fills. Users can add municipalities, rivers, lakes, military-area direction, neighboring counties, or project notes.
