2021 Map of East of Gum Slough

About this map

Agricultural grids and aviation clearings define this section of the Florida landscape along the border of Indian River Co and St. Lucie Co. The map reveals a highly structured environment of drainage and access, where long corridors like 150th Ave SW and Minute Maid Rd cut through the wetlands and citrus groves of the Treasure Coast hinterlands. Aviation history and private flight are central to this area, anchored by the Wee Bee Sky Ranch Airport and the Indian River Aerodrome, which is accessed via the appropriately named Sopwith Dr. This 2021 survey documents the persistent rural character of these townships, showing the intersection of large-scale land management and small private airstrips that serves as a transition between the coastal developments to the east and the interior marshes.
