About this map

Saint Lucie and the northern reaches of White City anchor this coastal landscape, where the Atlantic shoreline meets the intricate waterways of the Indian River. The map reveals a highly structured residential grid expanding westward from the coast, including neighborhoods like Harmony Heights, Sunland Gardens, and Glidden Park. At the center of the maritime activity, the Banty Saunders Bridge crosses to the barrier islands, while the Fort Pierce Inlet provides essential passage for vessels navigating from the Atlantic Ocean into the protected cuts and coves.

Local landmarks provide significant genealogical and community context, from the St Lucie County International Airport in the northwest to the Fort Pierce Cem and White City Cem. The presence of the Shops of Fort Pierce and various water management features like the Belcher Canal illustrate the mid-20th-century development of this Florida coastal hub, balancing suburban growth with the complex geography of islands such as Jack Island and Coon Island.
