2024 Map of Eden

About this map

Hutchinson Island dominates the landscape of this Florida coastal survey, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the protected waters of the Indian River Lagoon. This stretch of the Treasure Coast shows the intricate relationship between modern development and recreational waterways, with communities like Hutchinson Island South and Waveland established along the barrier island. On the mainland, the historic settlement of Eden sits west of the Intracoastal Waterway, while Jensen Beach anchors the southern portion of the map. Navigation and natural preservation are central themes, evidenced by the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trail and the Ocean Bay Preserve Trail. Below the surface of the Atlantic, maritime hazards and fishing grounds such as Pierce Shoal and Saint Lucie Shoal are identified, serving as key markers for local mariners.
