2018 Map of Hobe Sound

About this map

Jupiter Island and the coastal barrier system of Martin County dominate this topographic landscape, where the Atlantic coast meets a complex network of lagoons and narrows. The area is defined by its narrow strips of land and the vital Intracoastal Waterway, which separates the island from the mainland. The geography here is a delicate balance of water and sand, featuring the Indian River Lagoon and the sheltered waters of Hobe Sound. Infrastructure like the Hobe Sound Bridge and N Beach Rd provide the primary connections between these isolated coastal communities and the mainland. Residential developments are tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the inner waterways, as seen in the layout of Bonair Beach and the roads winding toward Harbor Island. The map illustrates a high-end coastal environment where land use is dictated by the immediate proximity to the sea and the navigational channels of the lagoon.
