1950 Map of Edgewater

About this map

Historic Spanish and British land grants dominate the geography of this coastal Florida landscape, with large tracts like the Charles Sibbold Grant and Ambrose Hull Grant defining the early property boundaries south of New Smyrna Beach. The mid-century development of Edgewater is visible along the western shore of the Indian River North, where the Florida East Coast Line railroad runs parallel to the coast. Inland, the map reveals smaller settlements and family-named locations such as Massey Ranch, Hucomer, and Creighton. The terrain transitions from the tidal marshes of Pine Island Bay and the Three Sisters Islands to the interior wetlands drained by Little Cow Creek. A notable cemetery and Edgewater Junction provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the early 20th-century footprint of this Volusia County corridor.
