About this map

The citrus groves and coastal waterways of mid-century St. Lucie County define this post-war landscape. Fort Pierce serves as the central hub, showing a grid of residential and commercial development between the Florida East Coast railroad and the Indian River. Significant maritime and aviation infrastructure is evident, from the Municipal Yacht Basin and Ft Pierce Inlet to the St Lucie County Airport in the north and the Fort Pierce Airport further south.

South of the main city, the settlement of White City and its nearby White City Cem mark a quieter agricultural and residential area near the North Fork St Lucie River. The coastal geography is highly detailed, featuring the long stretch of Hutchinson Island protecting the mainland, with numerous labeled coves and cuts such as Wildcat Cove and Snapper Cut. Local educational and civic life is anchored by locations like the St Lucie Co Schools and the Botanical Gardens.
