If your town, is big enough,
there may be Sanborn maps.

Library of Congress has a collection.

Is the beach at canaveral protected because of the space shuttle area or the shipwrecks?

 

[ConceptualizedNetherlandr]

I myself used to drool over old maps but the owners were not pleased with the staining and I no longer have access.

It's protected because it's a "National Seashore", it was created in 1975 by an act of Congress.

They basically closed down everything around Canaveral since the 60's. There is even a small town, near the north end they bought everything, moved everyone out. Just south of Oak Hill.
That area, south side of mosquito inlet, has a lot of history but it's all owned by the government now. No metal detecting. And no diving around Canaveral from what I'm told.

I believe one of the 1715 fleet ships, the one that has been found, "Can't remember the name", is on the south side of Canaveral. There is an old navy survey I came across years ago that list it with question marks next to the name.

I think there is other stuff in the area, just guessing, but stuff the government does want people to know it's there.

I’ve read that the ground around Canaveral is loaded up with rattlesnakes. A closed off area where they’re never disturbed. There are probably some big ones in there!

I haven't heard that about rattlesnakes.
But there is defiantly some very big gators there.
The biggest gator I've seen was there near some old Indian mounds on the north side.

We can get into a lot of areas there. The even have camping on some of the islands.
It's a park.

There is fences to stop you where they don't want you to go.
