1976 Map of False Cape

About this map

The Launch Complex 39 National Historical Site anchors this coastal orthophotomap, showing the advanced aerospace infrastructure of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station during the mid-1970s. Massive engineering works like the Crawlerway and the U.S. Government Railroad cut through the wetlands of Merritt Island, providing the heavy-lift transport necessary for Apollo-era operations. Surrounding the high-tech installations of Launch Complex 39A and Launch Complex 39B is the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where the Banana River and a network of named waterways like Bluebill Creek and Pintail Creek remain largely preserved. This intersection of natural sanctuary and cutting-edge spaceport is further detailed along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline at Titusville Beach and the distinctive elbow of the False Cape.
