2015 Map of Pardon Island

About this map

Canaveral National Seashore protects a delicate barrier island landscape along the Florida coast, where the vast Atlantic Ocean meets the intricate waterways of the Indian River Lagoon. This 2015 survey illustrates the fragile environment of Pardon Island and Three Cabbage Island, separated from the mainland by the shallow waters of Widgeon Bay. The boundary between Volusia and Brevard Counties bisects this coastal wilderness, which remains largely dominated by natural features rather than human development. Internal waterways like Pardon Slough provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the national seashore, documenting the shifting relationship between sand and sea in this preserved stretch of the East Coast.
