About this map

Vero Beach sits on a thin barrier island between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by its coastal geography, featuring a series of sheltered inlets such as McCullers Cove, Jandrew Cove, and Bethel Creek. The Intracoastal Waterway threads through the western channel, past Fritz Island and Barkley I, connecting the region's maritime traffic.

Development is concentrated around Beachland Blvd and the Vero Beach Bridge, which provides the primary link to the mainland. At the southern end of the settlement, the Riomar Country Club Golf Course occupies a significant portion of the peninsula, bordered by Riomar Creek. The map documents numerous markers like Tower, Tank, and various Piles or Pile locations that served as essential navigational aids for mariners of the era.
