Is there somewhere I can find a map of Jacksonville that has the neighborhoods listed and their boundaries? I thought I had seen one on Metrojax, but now I can't find it. I found a few images that came from here and our what I'm looking for.
Like this:

I have found a few that just have the names located around Jacksonille, but I was looking for actual boundaries of them. Thanks.
It would be good to get a consistent map. The issue is there really aren't firm boundaries, and those that exist change over time. Just try getting Riverside and Avondale residents to tell you where one ends and the other begins. You'll get a different answer from each, and they'll all be convinced they're right.
The city does have one it uses, but it's more logistical than based on what people really use. There's also some overlap. For instance, in your map, most people in "South Riverside" consider it to be part of San Marco.
There is or at one time was an official neighborhoods map that the City of Jacksonville had. The graphic above comes from it. When Walkscore first went live, they used to use it as well. When I get some time, I'll try to dig up an old copy.
There's always this one that's been floating around the internet:

But more seriously, even wikipedia doesn't agree:

I found one that does what I'm looking for. Looks like they have the boundaries set too. Of course there is some debate, and some parts of Duval without a name.

I was looking for the same thing a few months ago. Found something that was ok but this is better. It's funny to look at the breakdown of good-ok-bad neighborhoods. I also wonder what the black color is for. ;D
This seems to be based on how Google Maps was set up several years ago. According to this, the Southbank area of Downtown is called the "Southside", and no other part of Southside is called that.
My guess is that term "southside" may be a reference from Jax's preconsolidated era. In the 1960s, my parents attended Westside Church of Christ....in Brooklyn.
The City, on the CPAC webpage, has a list of neighborhood / home owners associations that have registered with them. But it doesn't give boundaries. http://www.coj.net/departments/neighborhoods/housing-and-community-development/neighborhood-initiatives-(1)/citizen-planning-advisory-committees-(cpacs).aspx
One of the options on the City GIS page - http://maps.coj.net/website/DuvalMapsSQL/viewer.htm
Go to the scroll box in the lower right to select "Neighborhoods" as the "Active" and "Visible" map. Then you can use the info (i) icon to get the names. Of course the map zooms and pans.

"Southside" referred to area well south of the Southbank, at least into San Marco. It's more likely someone got it wrong and it got replicated all over the internet.
Thanks for the links. I wanted to see about getting an Ork Poster made of the city.

I emailed her, and she said to join the mailing list cause they come out with new cities all the time. Something tells me that Jacksonville is way way down that list, ha.
