Cocoa Beach and its neighboring barrier island communities are captured here in the mid-1970s, a period of established residential development along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline. This orthophotomap provides a unique visual hybrid of traditional topographic data layered over 1976 aerial photography, revealing the intricate finger canals of the Thousand Islands and the developed waterfronts along the Banana River. The map documents a heavily managed coastal landscape, from the commercial activity near Canaveral Pier in the north down to the sprawling installation at Patrick Air Force Base in the south.
