The coastal corridor of Palm Beach county is captured here in the late 1940s, a period when local infrastructure was rapidly evolving between the shoreline and the interior wetlands. Along the coast, the barrier land of Hypoluxo Island separates the salt spray of the Atlantic Ocean from the tidal waters of Lake Worth. The map details the parallel transportation arteries that drove development in this era, including the Florida East Coast and Seaboard Air Line railroads, alongside the Intra-Coastal Waterway.
