About this map

Indian River separates the mainland from the slender barrier strand that buffers the Atlantic Ocean in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine wetlands and small estuaries along the western shore of the barrier island, where features like Mullet Creek, Ballard Cove, and Nancy Cr create a complex maritime environment. The tiny settlement at Evans Pines and a solitary Lookout Tower are some of the few developments on this stretch of land before the massive post-war boom changed the Florida coastline.
