The National Weather Service Miami, Florida is a local weather forecast office of the National Weather Service (NWS) that serves six counties in South Florida – Broward, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach – as well as the mainland portion of Monroe County.
 This office was originally established in 1879 as a Signal Corps station near the Jupiter Inlet Light, before becoming a Weather Bureau Office (WBO) in 1891.
 The WBO at Jupiter was moved southward to Miami, due to the city's rapidly growing population.
 In 1930, a separate Weather Bureau Airport Station (WBAS) was established at the Miami Municipal Airport.
 The WBAS was later moved to the Miami International Airport in 1942 and remained there until ceasing operations in 1975.
The Jupiter Inlet Historic and Archeological Site is an archaeological site in Jupiter, Florida.
 It is located off A1A in the area of DuBois Park.
 An ancient shell midden built by the Jaega people, it was the site of the village of Hobe (or Jobe in Spanish orthography), which was later conflated with Jove and inspired the name of the town of Jupiter, Florida, where it is located.
 On November 5, 1985, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Loxahatchee River (Seminole for "river of turtles") is a 7.6 mile river near the southeast coast of Florida.

 The source of the Loxahatchee River is in Riverbend Park on the south side of Indiantown Road about 1.5 miles west of I-95 and Florida's Turnpike in Jupiter, Florida.
 The Loxahatchee River flows out of the Jupiter Inlet and into the Atlantic Ocean.

Point Adams Light was a lighthouse near the mouth of the Columbia River on the Oregon Coast of the United States.
 The lighthouse was designed by Paul J. Pelz, who also designed Point Adams's sister stations, Point Fermin Light in San Pedro CA, East Brother Island Light in Richmond, California, Mare Island Light, in Carquinez Strait, California (demolished in the 1930s), Point Hueneme Light in California (replaced in 1940), and Hereford Inlet Light in North Wildwood, New Jersey, all in essentially the same style.
 It operated from February 15, 1875 until 1899, when it became obsolete by the extension of the south jetty and the establishment of the Lightship "Columbia" in 1892.
 The lighthouse was considered a fire hazard and demolished in 1912.
