1949 Map of Titusville

About this map

Titusville and its surrounding coastal landscape are documented here during a period of transition as the space age began to reshape Brevard County. The map details the established settlement of Indian River City and smaller locales like Bellwood and Burns Hammock, while the encroaching infrastructure of the John F Kennedy Space Center (Nasa) appears to the northeast across Brock Flats. The landscape is a mix of older land divisions, notably the Delespine Grant, and mid-century developments such as Whispering Hills Golf Estates. Along the shoreline, the Intracoastal Waterway follows the expanse of the Indian River, connected to the mainland via the Nasa Parkway West Causeway. Local infrastructure like Titusville High School and Arthur Dunn Airpark serve the growing community, while the interior is defined by numerous water bodies including South Lake and Fox Lake.
