1949 Map of Grant

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Valkaria Missile Tracking Annex stands as a focal point of this mid-century landscape, reflecting the region's mid-20th-century transition toward aerospace and defense operations. Situated between the Indian River and the mainland swamps, the Valkaria Airfield and its associated military grounds dominate the central terrain. Along the shoreline, the Florida East Coast railway serves the established waterfront communities of Malabar, Valkaria, and Grant, which are oriented toward the sheltered waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. The map captures the specialized geography of the Space Coast, where the historic land divisions of the Fleming Grant meet modern aviation and telemetry infrastructure. Extensive marshes and small creeks like Goat Creek and Kid Creek define the interior, while the barrier islands across the river separate the lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean.
