About this map

Canaveral National Seashore dominates the eastern coastline of this map, protecting a delicate network of barrier islands and estuaries. The area is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansive Mosquito Lagoon, which separates the mainland from the Atlantic coast. Notable archaeological and historic sites are peppered throughout this aquatic landscape, including Turtle Mound and the settlement of Eldora near Pumpkin Point.

On the mainland, the communities of Ariel, Oak Hill, and Edgewater follow the corridor of S Ridgewood Ave. The map captures a mix of coastal recreation and local infrastructure, from the residential streets of New Smyrna Beach and Bethune Beach to the Tully RV Airpark. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the many named cuts and coves like Shipyard Canal, Bissitte Bay, and Orange Island Creek.
