1964 Map of Bradenton Beach

About this map

The barrier islands of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key dominate this coastal survey, showing the mid-century development of the Gulf Coast. The Cortez Bridge provides a vital link from the mainland at Cortez to the beachfront settlements of Bradenton Beach and Holmes Beach. While the beaches show significant residential plotting, the interior sound remains a complex network of keys and bayous, including Prices Key and Sister Keys within the Anna Maria Sound.
