1949 Map of Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Merritt Island serves as a critical junction of early Florida citrus cultivation and the dawn of the space age. This survey, based on 1940s data with later revisions, shows the transition of the northern reach of the John F Kennedy Space Center (NASA) as it began to overlay older coastal settlements. While the US Government RR and Kennedy Parkway represent modern infrastructure, traces of the previous era remain at Wilson and Dummit Grove. The map details the intricate waterways between the Atlantic Ocean and Mosquito Lagoon, including Max Hoeck Creek and Gallinipper Basin. To the south, the massive footprints of Launch Complex 39 and Launch Complex 39B contrast sharply with the pristine environments of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the long, undeveloped stretch of Klondike Beach.
