1952 Map of Mims

About this map

Bernardo Segui Grant and the Domingo Acosta Grant dominate the upper landscape of this coastal Florida territory, preserving the boundaries of historical land grants alongside more modern developments. The Indian River serves as a central waterway, bisected by the Intracoastal Waterway and its designated eight-foot project depth. Settlement is concentrated along the Florida East Coast railway, which anchors the communities of Mims, East Mims, and La Grange. To the east, the Haulover Canal provides a vital link between the river and Mosquito Lagoon, while the wetlands of Marsh Bay and Duckroost Cove define the irregular shoreline. Local history is evidenced by the Indian Mound west of the main settlements and the presence of the Brevard Co Game Refuge, illustrating the mid-century balance between citrus-era growth and the preservation of the coastal ecosystem.
