1951 Map of Tropic

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Merritt Island sits between the Banana River and the Indian River in this mid-century survey of coastal Florida. This narrow barrier landscape shows the transition from the settlement at Eau Gallie and the small coastal hub of Tropic to a large northern U S Military Reservation that dominates the upper end of the peninsula. The map captures a moment before the massive industrialization of the space race, when the area was defined by its water access and low-density coastal development.
