About this map

Playalinda Beach dominates the western shoreline in this coastal survey, where the Atlantic coast meets the interior wetlands of Brevard County. The map focuses primarily on the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, which covers nearly the entire quadrangle east of the shoreline. Along the narrow coastal strip, Bald Pate Creek winds through the marshes just inland from the beach, illustrating the delicate transition between the open sea and the Florida mainland. This digital-era rendering by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the undeveloped shoreline before the further environmental changes of the early 21st century.
