Source-derived summary

State Road 13 (SR 13) is a 28.25-mile-long (45.46 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Florida, running north from SR 16 near Green Cove Springs, through Switzerland to Jacksonville on the east shore of the St. Johns River.

Route description

Its southern terminus is with SR 16 and County Road 13 (CR 13) near Green Cove Springs. CR 13 continues south to Hastings and then southeast, along old Dixie Highway to U.S. Route 1 (US 1, unsigned SR 5) near Bunnell.

SR 13 is known as San Jose Boulevard for much of its run through Duval County (coextensive with the city limits of Jacksonville). As it approaches Downtown Jacksonville, it becomes Hendricks Avenue, then turns west along Prudential Drive and then turns into San Marco Boulevard before crossing the St. Johns River at the Acosta Bridge. The road ends at an interchange with Riverside Avenue (former US 17).

A portion of the route that runs along the east bank of the St. Johns River, south of Jacksonville, is designated the William Bartram Scenic and Historic Highway.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Florida State Road 13” as highway in Florida. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 178-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1945. The account is most persuasive where Florida, State and Road can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as highway in Florida. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1367266. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
