2015 Map of Sharpes

About this map

Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate the eastern margin of this coastal landscape, illustrating the critical water-and-rail corridor that shaped Brevard County's development. Residential expansion is evident in the dense street grids of Port Saint John and Canaveral Acres, while smaller, established communities like Frontenac, Sharpes, and Delespine anchor the transition toward Cocoa in the south. The transportation network is defined by the north-south transit of the Florida East Coast railroad and major arteries such as the Challenger Memorial Pky and Grisson Pky. Educational and environmental markers including the Brevard Community Coll campus and interior water bodies like Lake Wilson and Sharpes Lake provide specific reference points for local history researchers tracing the modernization of this Atlantic shoreline region.
