About this map

Stuart and Palm City anchor this coastal survey, which documents the mid-century landscape of the North Fork St Lucie River and its confluence with the South Fork St Lucie River. The map captures a period of growth along the riverbanks, particularly within the Port St Lucie corporate boundary and the emerging community of North River Shores. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous points and coves, such as Pendarvis Point and Jenkins Pt, alongside the protected waters of the St Lucie Inlet Aquatic Preserve.

Land use shifts from the developed streets of the city centers to the southern Hanson Grant and various drainage features like the Canal (C). Transportation infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Florida East Coast railway and the crossing at Roosevelt Bridge. Local history is preserved through markers like Fern Hill Cem and Lighthouse Point, while recreational spaces such as Leighton Park and the Palm City Ball Park suggest the community's early suburban development.
