1948 Map of Riomar

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Vero Beach and the adjacent barrier island are shown here in the late 1940s, just as the Atlantic coast began its post-war development surge. The map highlights the early layout of the Riomar Country Club Golf Course and the residential corridors along Beachland Blvd, which served as the primary link across the Indian River via the Vero Beach Bridge. The coastal landscape is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and a series of sheltered water bodies including McCullers Cove, Bethel Creek, and Gifford Cut. This 1948 survey, based on aerial photographs from 1946, captures the barrier island's transition from undeveloped shoreline to a planned leisure community, with landmarks like the beachside Tower and Tank marking the early infrastructure of this coastal Florida settlement.
