1948 Map of Ankona

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The North Fork St Lucie River meanders through this coastal landscape, creating a distinct boundary between the developing western subdivisions and the mangroves of the eastern shoreline. Originally surveyed in 1948 and updated with 1970 aerial photography, the map documents the early suburban expansion of Port St Lucie and River Park into formerly agricultural or undeveloped marshlands. Further north, the established community of White City sits near the Florida East Coast railway, which parallels the Indian River lagoon. Across the lagoon, the southern tip of Hutchinson Island reveals a wilder terrain of swamps and tidal inlets like Big Mud Creek. Notable infrastructure changes from the post-war era appear in purple revisions, most notably the arrival of Floridas Turnpike and its associated Service Area No 3, which bisected the inland flatwoods.
