2024 Map of Courtenay

About this map

North Merritt Island forms the core of this coastal landscape, situated between the Indian River and the Banana River. This contemporary survey captures the intricate network of suburban development and protected land, notably the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge that dominates the eastern shoreline. The Canaveral Barge Canal cuts horizontally across the island, providing a critical industrial waterway link south of the settlement of Indianola. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Lukes Episcopal Cem near Courtenay and Bethel Cem further south. The map reflects the region's balance between residential growth, seen in the dense street grids of Tropical Park, and its maritime geography, defined by the winding course of Sykes Creek and the broad expanse of the Indian River Lagoon.
