2021 Map of Ariel

About this map

Canaveral National Seashore dominates the coastal barrier landscape of this eastern Volusia County survey, anchored by the ancient Turtle Mound shell midden. The geography is defined by a dense network of saltwater lagoons and marsh islands, including Shipyard Island, Cedar Island, and Gaines Island, separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway and Indian River North. The map documents the residential patterns from the southern edges of New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater down to the historic settlement of Eldora and the community of Oak Hill. This area is a hub for recreational and environmental transit, featuring the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl and the Worlds Most Famous Beach Trl, alongside aviation facilities like the Tully RV Airpark.
