1954 Map of Aripeka

About this map

Aripeka sits at the junction of the Hernando Co Pasco Co line, serving as a focal point for this coastal Florida landscape during the mid-20th century. The intricate shoreline is defined by a series of points and keys, including Gun Point and Indian Key, which buffer the mainland from the Gulf of Mexico. Inland, the map reveals a transition from coastal wetlands and bayous like Fillman Bayou to developing residential areas and recreational features such as a Golf Course. The 1988 photorevision (noted in purple) highlights significant suburban expansion around Hunters Lake and the northern reaches near Rocky Creek, contrasting with the more natural terrain of the 1954 base survey. Notable local landmarks like the Gravel Pit and the unusually named Devils Rock Yard provide specific points of interest for those tracing the industrial and geographic evolution of the Gulf Coast.
