1949 Map of Courtenay

About this map

Merritt Island dominates this mid-century survey, flanked by the broad reaches of the Indian River and the Banana River. Before the massive expansion of the nearby space center, this area was a landscape of citrus groves and small riverside communities connected by the Intracoastal Waterway. Local life centered around points of interest like Courtenay and Audubon, with several established houses of worship including St Lukes Ch and Mt Zion Ch serving the island residents.
