1949 Map of False Cape

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

John F Kennedy Space Center (NASA) dominates this coastal Florida landscape, capturing the rapid transformation of the Atlantic shoreline into a global hub for space exploration. While the base topography and hydrography were established in 1949, significant purple revisions from 1970 illustrate the massive infrastructure of the space race, including Launch Complex 39A and Launch Complex 39B. The map documents a unique tension between the industrial scale of the Cape Kennedy Air Force Station and the intricate coastal ecosystems of the Banana River and Merritt Island.
