1942 Map of Cockroach Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The complex shoreline of the Cockroach Bay ecosystem defines this 1940s coastal survey, revealing a landscape of intricate tidal passes and islands before mid-century development. Evidence of early habitation is centered on the Big Cockroach Mound, a significant landmark set amidst a maze of features like Hallelujah Keys and Snake Key. Along the mainland, the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and Bayshore Road provide the primary infrastructure for the sparsely settled region, which is divided between Precinct 80 and Precinct 15. Maritime and aviation navigation of the era is represented by the Cut C Rear Range Lt and an Airway Bn, while the small settlement at Piney Point marks a focal point for local activity near the Hillsborough and Manatee County line.
