About this map

Canaveral Peninsula is defined by its strategic aerospace infrastructure and coastal geography, bounded by the Banana River and the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is dominated by the technical operations of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Skid Strip and a complex network of mission-specific roadways including Mission Control Rd, Heavy Launch Rd, and Flight Control Rd.

South of the military installations, the residential and commercial areas of Cape Canaveral appear between the Indian River Lagoon and the shoreline. Small water bodies like Alligator Pond and Duck Pond punctuate the peninsula, while distinctive coastal features such as Peterson Point and Middle Point mark the transition into the West Basin. This survey provides a precise look at the industrial-military footprint that transformed this part of Florida into a global hub for space exploration.
