1949 Map of Gomez

About this map

The Gomez Grant and Hanson Grant define the historical land division of this coastal corridor during the late 1940s. The settlement of Hobe Sound serves as a primary hub, situated between the Florida East Coast railway and the saltwater reaches of the Intracoastal Waterway. To the south, the early boundaries of Jupiter State Park preserve a significant portion of the landscape, while inland, the South Fork St Lucie River winds through the western interior. This survey documents a critical period of infrastructure before the heavy mid-century development of the Atlantic coast, marked by an Underground Telephone Line and an Airway Beacon. Local landmarks like the Hobe Sound Ch and Banner Lake provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the early footprint of Martin County communities.
