1948 Map of St Lucie Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Stuart and the surrounding coastline of the Hanson Grant appear here at a moment of transition, showing both the established maritime infrastructure and burgeoning mid-century developments. The confluence of the St Lucie River and Indian River defines the landscape, with the St Lucie Inlet providing a critical passage to the Atlantic Ocean. Aviation and rail history are anchored by the presence of Witham Field and the Florida East Coast railroad line, which supported the growth of communities like Jensen Beach, Port Salerno, and Rio. The intricate network of waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway and various coves like Manatee Pocket and Bessie Cove, highlights the area's deep-rooted connection to the water. Residential expansion is visible through newer additions like Ocean Breeze Park and Coral Gardens, while the land tenure of the Gomez Grant points to the region's historic Spanish land-grant origins.
