4)27th st
5)20th ave
6)Rd carter subdivision. Note the streets
7)royal palm blvd and place.old homes are in this image and all on that road but one I have photos. Of note is the bridge,it's going to change three times when I post Google Earth..this image shows the wooden bridge built by merrill barber.also the golf course the vbcc.second oldest

8) us1,then dixie hwy and next to it is the fec line,two lines. NOTE the fec above all as that will be in any map from 1893 to present.

zoom in for the tiny spots on royal palm. if you see them they are palm trees. they were there up to 1979. the 81 top will not have them. a storm killed them all
 
now then the west of the site is where the canal follows the creek from the start. now the ole maps of yore.
 
References for 81 topo.
1)Indian River memorial hospital
2)renmants of the creek,still in part visible today as I used the country club as a reference
3) vbcc,vero beach country club
4)royal palm blvd and place with the more modern merrill p barber draw bridge note the change.
5) barely visible is Rd carter sub division. But it's still there.all of this in image save on small section I have read
6)north west of the former runway that was built of the navy .I uses this to assist with where the creek was.
7)vero beach airport
8)us1,and the fec rr.at this time it's a single line as passenger svc was well gone. It ended 12 years prior.if I remember
9)the rr for the old Navy base
10) u shaped building which I indexed to show where the dig is in the image.the u shape building was the public works compound.it stood until 2007 but was well past need for demolition by 07
11.27th st,26th st and 20th ave.the dig is off 27th st and close to the canal.
 
Note that Fleming grant in my last post.go back to the 1850 of Brevard county.in later with st Lucie it's where about Sebastian is and my area.

(Am still comparing them....)

They don't show much just names.some of those towns are gone.ie viking,eden are ghost towns.in my county it's Oslo and quay that are ghost towns.quay .is where I will be tommorow. It's now called winter beach.olso has nearly nothing left.I used the canal map for ww2 topo reference and also that 1936 map. I use it for anything south of the city limits.of note it could be that the ais or primitive man lived on that van alkenburg creek.
 
It will be fascinating to follow the progtess this season!

Thanks for the update :wave2

This must be recent as of today.the location is on my paper route.I have drive by it to deliver 9 papers.I noticed the Porta Johns but not the trailer.the temp pole was energized. Been that way for months.
 
The website said the dig was to get underway on Feb 3 ... sometimes it takes a bit longer to get everything organized and running
