About this map

The Jupiter Inlet serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the Loxahatchee River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by its complex waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the narrow passage of Jupiter Sound. Along the shoreline, the Jupiter Inlet US Coast Guard Station stands near the Jupiter Inlet Beach Colony, marking a strategic maritime position.

Development is concentrated around the settlements of Jupiter and Tequesta, with civic life represented by the Jupiter Sch and Jupiter Cem. To the north, the expansive Jonathan Dickinson State Park preserves the natural terrain, while the Loxahatchee River Aquatic Preserve protects the brackish estuaries. The bathymetric data reveals the underwater topography of the shelf, contrasting the residential growth in Juno Beach with the limestone formations of Blowing Rocks.
