the road that is heading northeast is called 512, it wasn't called that then. it is visible if you have good eyes to see the whole track im talking about. its was used then and is visible. that may still be there today. if they didn't pave over it when they widened 512. 512 was two line up to the late 80's. I may take that one day and look again.

I do see that road going NE, very cool. You should check it out to see if there are any signs left of the rr.

Do you know what that design is sort of in the east part of the map, about centered?

verified, that is called riverside park. It is in the 81 topo. based just on google earth there isn't any of that left that parrelels 512. however west as it head towards fellsmere , which is inaccesable for me I can check via google earth.

fellsmere flood. yes that small town then,its bigger in acreage then the city of vero but not in population. now was the biggest of the three towns in the 20's. drainage was the problem. that was one of the reasons vero made it. but the canals and the vero man are for the science section and another thread

Is land still cheap? haha

no. most of that isn't swamp these days. old imagery, you can see the changes. the before of 51 and the 81 topos show more woods in concretated areas then. the airport there isn't near woods like that in the image , its scrubs and swamps there, its near homes and thicker brush and pine.

Do they call that bridge a 'bridge to nowhere' ????

Round here we pronounce that 'ann-gell-ease'.

I have been to that old navy base when it was still active.

reminds me when they were tearing down the drawbridge. I don't have any pics of that.

It's beautiful down there, the buildings are a little eerie, but it's peaceful. It's right next to the water and now they have a huge park next door. It's nice area.
