1974 Map of Clearwater

About this map

Clearwater and its surrounding coastal communities show the intense mid-century development of the Pinellas Peninsula, where intricate finger canals and seawalls have reshaped the shoreline along Clearwater Harbor. This 1974 survey, revised with 1980s data, documents the urban expansion of Dunedin, Largo, and the barrier islands from Clearwater Beach to Indian Rocks Beach. The map highlights the area's infrastructure and community life, from the Plant Hospital and Courthouse in the city center to suburban anchors like Anona Sch and Fuguitt Sch. A significant industrial presence is noted at the U S Reservation Pinellas Plant in the southeast. Cultural and historic sites are also preserved, including the Rousseau Pioneer Cem and numerous parish churches such as St Pauls Ch, providing essential reference points for genealogists and local historians.
