About this map

Hutchinson Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as a slender barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. This edition highlights a period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the Hutchinson Island Nuclear Power Plant (Under Construction) near Big Mud Creek. On the mainland, the Florida East Coast railway parallels the shoreline, passing through the established community of Eden and near Lake Eden.

Environmental conservation efforts are visible through the establishment of the Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas State Preserve. Urban expansion is documented through purple revisions, indicating growth around Jensen Beach and Waveland. Local landmarks such as the Frank A Wacha Bridge and Nettles Island provide specific points of reference for those studying the mid-century evolution of the Florida coastline.
