2015 Map of Vero Beach

About this map

Vero Beach and its surrounding communities along the Indian River Lagoon are defined by a complex network of coastal islands and canals. The landscape transition from the mainland settlements of Gifford and Winter Beach across the Intracoastal Waterway reveals a fragmented shoreline featuring Johns Island and the North Sister Island. A sophisticated water management system is evident in the Main Canal and N-Canal, which drain the interior toward the coast. Transportation and aviation infrastructure anchor the region, including the Vero Beach Municipal Airport, the Broocke Air Patch, and the Fec railroad corridor. The barrier island topography is punctuated by named landforms such as Pople Point and Stingray Point, providing a detailed look at the interface between the mainland and the Atlantic Ocean before modern redevelopment altered the character of the Florida coast.
