About this map

Pablo Rosette Grant, Gomez Grant, and the Elespine Grant highlight the enduring legacy of Spanish land grants along this section of the Atlantic coast. The settlement of Oak Hill serves as a focal point near the northern edge of the sheet, where the Florida East Coast railway runs parallel to the shoreline. The landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River, separated by a narrow finger of land that includes Shiloh and Shiloh Camp.

Maritime activity is evident through features like Boathouse Pt, Lyratta Dock, and the Intracoastal Waterway. To the south, Scottsmoor marks the transition into Brevard County. Unusual coastal features such as Glory Hole and Hole in the Wall indicate the complex geography of the islands and shoals, while the presence of an Airway Beacon and a Cem near Oak Hill provide clues for local historians and genealogists tracing early mid-century infrastructure and burial sites.
