1950 Map of St. Lucie Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Witham Field and its distinctive runway layout dominate the central landscape of this 1950 coastal survey, reflecting the area's importance during the mid-century aviation era. The map captures a detailed view of the Atlantic coast before modern high-rise development, highlighting the complex waterways of the Indian River and the St Lucie River. Large historical land divisions, including the Hanson Grant and Gomez Grant, underscore the region's colonial and early territorial heritage. Along the western shores, established settlements like Stuart, Jensen Beach, and Port Sewall are linked by the Florida East Coast railroad, while the eastern edge is defined by the narrow ribbon of Hutchinson Island. The confluence of the inland rivers at the St Lucie Inlet provides a snapshot of the navigational and topographical character of the Florida coastline at this period, including specific points like Hell Gate Point and Sewall Point.
