About this map

Oslo and the southern outskirts of Vero Beach define the landscape of this coastal Florida corridor at the mid-century mark. The map traces a grid of agricultural and drainage infrastructure typical of the region's development, notably the South Canal and the Florida East Coast railway, which parallels the shoreline. A significant landmark of early Florida tourism, McKee Jungle Gardens, is situated just east of the rail line, representing the era's botanical and roadside attractions.

The surveying, completed by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, highlights the low-lying terrain transitioning across the Indian River Co and St Lucie Co boundary. Communication infrastructure is meticulously detailed, showing both a standard Telephone Line and an Underground Telephone Line traversing the corridor. Several technical identifiers such as Indrio (C) and Ne-1 (E) are placed across the southern sections, marking specific survey or utility points in the developing coastal plain.
