About this map

The narrow barrier islands and sheltered lagoons of the Florida coast are defined here by a series of residential developments and protected waterways. Communities like Floridana Beach, Evans Pines, and Ballard Pines occupy the thin strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. The map illustrates the specialized geography of this coastline, where many local roads such as Aquarina Blvd and Hammock Shore Dr terminate at the water's edge.

Waterborne navigation is central to the area's layout, centered on the Intracoastal Waterway and the protected marshes of Mullet Creek. Significant landforms like Latham Island and Pepper Point create distinct natural harbors, including Ballard Cove and Mathews Cove. This survey preserves the exact footprint of coastal development at a time when local connectivity was primarily facilitated by SR a1a.
