1976 Map of Cocoa Beach

About this map

The narrow barrier island of Cocoa Beach is captured during a period of significant development, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate wetlands of the Banana River. This orthophotomap, based on 1976 aerial photography, reveals the dense residential grid and finger-canal developments that define the central Florida coast. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling installations of Patrick Air Force Base, while to the north, the Minuteman Causeway provides a vital link across the river.
