1949 Map of Melbourne East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Melbourne and the surrounding coastal communities are captured here in a period of transition, following a series of mid-century surveys from 1947 to 1949 with later revisions illustrating urban expansion. The geographic heart of the map is the Indian River, separating the mainland settlements of Eau Gallie, Palm Bay, and Malabar from the barrier island communities of Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. The Florida East Coast railway runs parallel to the shoreline, a vital artery for the region's early growth. Notable landmarks from the late 1940s landscape include the Melbourne Regional Airport and a Drive-in Theater in Eau Gallie. The intricate coastal topography is detailed with named points such as Castaway Pt and Cape Malabar, alongside the Intracoastal Waterway which winds through the lagoons.
