1948 Map of Eden

About this map

Eden occupies the mainland shore of the Indian River on this mid-century coastal survey, reflecting a period of significant transition along the Florida coast. While the map is grounded in 1948 plane-table topography, purple revisions added in 1970 illustrate the expansion of urban areas and infrastructure. The corridor is defined by the Florida East Coast railroad, which historically shaped the development of settlements in this region. This survey captures the delicate balance between the natural barrier island landscape and the increasing human footprint at the start of the 1970s.
