2012 Map of Courtenay

About this map

Saint Luke's Parish Episcopal Church Cem and Bethel Cem stand as early community landmarks on Merritt Island, anchoring the settlements of Courtenay and Audubon between the broad reaches of the Indian River and the Banana River. This coastal landscape, defined by intricate waterways like Sykes Creek and Flatboat Creek, reflects a modern era of space-age infrastructure and maritime development. The Christa McAuliffe Bridge connects the island to the mainland, while the eastern edge of the survey reveals the heavy industrial footprint of the cruise industry at the West Basin. Genealogical interest is concentrated in established neighborhoods like Indianola and Magnolia Point, while specialized facilities such as Central Telemetry highlight the region's unique role in aerospace operations. From the northern point of Pine Island to the sprawling docks of the Harbortown Marina at Canaveral, the map captures a period of significant density and nautical activity.
