1948 Map of Riomar

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Vero Beach and Riomar occupy the narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, showcasing the mid-century development of Florida's Treasure Coast. While the 1948 field check captures the early footprint of the Riomar Country Club Golf Course and established roads like Beachland Blvd, 1970 aerial revisions (indicated in purple) reveal significant urban expansion. The intricate network of coastal waterways is a defining feature, including McCullers Cove, Bethel Creek, and the dredged Gifford Cut. To the south, residential growth pushes toward Erwin Cove, though the landscape remains dotted with natural landmarks like Dark Point and the mangrove-lined banks of the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey documents the transition from a sparsely populated coastal strip into a structured resort and residential hub.
