1949 Map of Fort Pierce

About this map

Fort Pierce and the surrounding Treasure Coast landscape are centered around the vital intersection of the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. This mid-century survey illustrates the era's coastal development, from the industrial White City Station along the Florida East Coast railway to the recreational expansion across the North Beach Causeway. The map reveals a complex network of waterways including Ft Pierce Inlet and Tucker Cove, while land-based features like the St Lucie County Airport and Sunland Gardens show the town growing beyond its maritime roots. Genealogists may find value in the location of the White City Cem and various St Lucie Co Schools serving the community during this period of post-war transition, as the city's urban footprint expands toward Paradise Park.
