1945 Map of Cockroach Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Big Cockroach Mound stands as a prominent landmark on this 1940s survey of the eastern shores of Tampa Bay. The landscape is a complex network of coastal features, including Cockroach Bay, Hallelujah Keys, and Little Cockroach Island. This era captures the transition between the shoreline's natural state and the infrastructure supporting regional transport and navigation. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad and Bayshore Road provide inland connectivity, while maritime aids such as the Cut C Front Range Lt and Cut C Rear Range Lt guide vessels through the bay. To the south, Piney Point is depicted with its Ferry Ldg, illustrating the importance of waterborne transport before more modern crossings were established. The map also delineates civil boundaries between Precinct 80 and Precinct 15 across the Hillsborough and Manatee county line.
