2024 Map of False Cape

About this map

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge dominate this coastal Florida landscape, where aerospace infrastructure meets protected wetlands. The map details the specialized transportation networks required for space flight, including the Crawlerway and the US Government RR, alongside specialized routes like ICBM Rd and NASA Pkwy E. This intersection of high-technology and nature is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Indian River Lagoon to the west. Between these waters lies the Canaveral Peninsula, dotted with hammock terrain and named features like Harrison Island and Jack Davis Island. Many small waterways, such as Broadaxe Creek and Bluebill Creek, wind through the refuge near False Cape, illustrating the complex hydrology of the barrier island system.
