1948 Map of St. Lucie Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Stuart serves as the hub of this coastal Florida landscape, where the confluence of the Indian River and St Lucie River creates a complex network of waterways. This 1948 survey, updated with 1970 aerial data, reveals a mid-century coastal environment defined by maritime activity and aviation. The prominent aviation footprint of Witham Field sits just south of the main settlement, while the Florida East Coast railway establishes the primary north-south transportation corridor through Jensen Beach and Port Salerno. Residential developments like Ocean Breeze Park and Snug Harbor indicate the area's transition into a seasonal destination. To the east, the barrier landscape of Hutchinson Island remains relatively sparse, punctuated by landmarks like the Lookout Tower and narrow passages such as Hole in the Wall near the St Lucie Inlet.
