2021 Map of Melbourne East

About this map

The Atlantic coast of Brevard County is defined by the narrow barrier islands and the expansive waters of the Indian River Lagoon. In the city of Melbourne, the urban layout converges at the Melbourne Causeway, a vital link crossing the Indian River to the coastal communities of Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. Further south, the sprawl of Palm Bay is punctuated by the winding course of Turkey Creek and the man-made Melbourne-Tillman Canal, reflecting a landscape heavily modified for drainage and residential expansion. On the mainland, the Florida Institute of Technology serves as a prominent landmark. Along the coastline, various geographic points such as Cape Malabar, Castaway Point, and Coconut Point mark the transition between the lagoon and the open Atlantic Ocean, while the Malabar Scrub Sanctuary preserves a remnant of the native Florida scrub environment.
