About this map

The Indian River separates the mainland from the barrier islands in this coastal survey, where the Saint Sebastian River joins the larger estuary. The town of Sebastian is the primary settlement, featuring a grid of residential streets and the Sebastian Municipal Airport. Along the waterway, smaller communities like Cummings and the waterfront developments at North Beach and Wabasso Beach trace the shoreline. The geography is defined by a dense network of islands and tidal features, including Orchid Island and the protected lands of Pelican Island.

Maritime navigation is marked by the Sebastian Inlet North Jetty Light at the Sebastian Inlet, a critical passage for local vessels. Inland, the Sebastian Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists researching family ties in Indian River County. The map details numerous smaller landforms like Roseate Island, Michael Island, and Preachers Island, illustrating the complex coastal environment before further modern development altered these low-lying landforms.
