About this map

The town of Titusville and its proximity to the Indian River are captured here just before the massive expansion of the nearby space program. This survey shows the area's transition from a citrus-and-river economy to a modern aeronautical hub, evidenced by the presence of the Titusville Airport and the Titusville Cocoa Airport. The landscape is a mix of historic land divisions like the Delespine Grant and developing residential areas such as Whispering Hills Golf Estates.

Along the coast, the Florida East Coast railway tracks follow the shoreline, passing landmarks like the Titusville High School and Indian River City. Inland, the terrain is dominated by freshwater bodies including South Lake and Fox Lake, while the Cheney Highway provides the primary east-west corridor. Local features such as the County Farm and a riverside Ruins label near Addison Point offer specific points of interest for local history researchers.
