1949 Map of False Cape

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

False Cape and the surrounding Canaveral Peninsula are depicted here just as the post-war era began to transform the Florida coast. This 1949 survey, based on field work and aerial photography from 1948, shows a landscape defined by intricate waterways and coastal hammocks before the significant space-age developments nearby. The area is characterized by a series of barrier islands and peninsulas, including the northern reaches of Merritt Island and the expansive Canaveral State Game Refuge.
