2018 Map of Wilson

About this map

Kennedy Space Center Communications sites and the NASA Shuttle Landing Facility dominate the southern portion of this Merritt Island landscape, illustrating the critical infrastructure of the American space program. The area is a complex network of wetlands and tidal waters, where the Indian River Lagoon and Mosquito Lagoon are separated by narrow strips of land and the Intracoastal Waterway. This intersection of high-technology aeronautics and preserved coastal wilderness is further defined by the Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, protecting coastal features like Klondike Beach and Cucumber Island. Small settlements such as Wilson and Dummit Grove appear alongside local routes like Co RD 3, while natural drainage features including Dummit Creek and Eddy Creek carve through the marshes east toward the Atlantic Ocean.
