1964 Map of Bradenton Beach

About this map

Anna Maria Key and the northern stretch of Long Boat Key define this coastal landscape during a period of significant mid-century shoreline development. The map details the interconnected barrier island communities from Holmes Beach and Ilexhurst down to the residential finger canals of Whitney Beach. While the Gulf Of Mexico borders the western sands, the protected waters of Sarasota Pass and Palma Sola Bay reveal a complex network of small keys and bayous, including Perico Island and the Sister Keys.
