2015 Map of Grant

About this map

The Indian River Lagoon and its complex system of islands and points dominate this portion of the Florida coast, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the wide expanse of the Indian River. The landscape is defined by the transition from the upland pinewoods of Jordan Scrub to the water-level communities of Valkaria, Grant, and Micco. This era of the mid-2010s shows a structured grid of residential development extending west from the coast, though large tracts remain dominated by wetlands and creeks like Kid Cr and Cypress Creek. Aviation history is represented by the Valkaria Airport, while the shoreline features numerous family-named landmarks such as Washburn Cove and Gibbs Point. Offshore, several named landforms including Grant Farm Island and Grange Island sit at the mouth of smaller tributaries, marking the delicate geography of the lagoon system.
