1948 Map of Riomar

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Vero Beach and its surrounding barrier island communities are depicted during a period of transition, combining early post-war development with later 20th-century urban expansion. The geography is defined by the Indian River and the Intracoastal Waterway, which separate the mainland from the coastal reaches of Riomar and Indian River Shores. A military presence is noted at the Vero Beach Tracking Annex (USAF), while recreational land use is evident at the Golf Course and several waterfront parks, including Humiston Park and Memorial Island Park. The landscape is a complex of coves and creeks, such as McCullers Cove, Jandrew Cove, and Riomar Cr, showing how the natural hydrology of the Florida coast shaped early residential platting. Purple overprinting reveals the growth of urban areas along Beachland Blvd and the development of the Indian River Aquatic Preserve.
