1950 Map of Ariel

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Mosquito Lagoon dominates this coastal landscape, separating the mainland from the narrow barrier beach that faces the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a complex network of marshes, creeks, and islands, including Shipyard Island and Bottle Island, which define the hydrography of the mid-century Florida coast. Large historical land tracts like the Jane Murray Grant and Joseph Wales Grant are clearly delineated, showing the legacy of colonial-era property boundaries that persisted into the 1950s. Small coastal outposts such as Ariel, Eldora, and Packwood Place represent the sparse settlement patterns of the era, connected by the Florida East Coast Railway which skirts the western edge of the lagoon. Notable landmarks like Turtle Mound and the Oak Hill Dock provide key navigational and archaeological reference points within this intricate aquatic environment.
