2018 Map of Pardon Island

About this map

The Kennedy Space Center Communications station stands as a focal point of infrastructure on this coastal barrier landscape. Situated at the intersection of the Volusia and Brevard County line, the area is defined by its conservation status, split between the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Canaveral National Seashore. The geography is dominated by intricate waterways and marshlands, including Pardon Slough and the Indian Mosquito Lagoon Lagoon. This 2018 survey reveals the delicate coastal interface where Three Cabbage Island and Pardon Island separate internal bays like Widgeon Bay from the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The map illustrates a landscape primarily dedicated to aerospace communications and federal wildlife protection, with no major residential settlements present.
