1960 Map of Dade City

About this map

Dade City and its surrounding citrus groves and lake country are captured during a period of steady mid-century growth in Pasco County. The map details the local educational and spiritual landscape through institutions like Pasco High Sch, Mickens Sch, and Mount Zion Ch. A distinctive cluster of water bodies, including Lake Pasadena, Swannnee Lake, and Tobe Lake, defines the topography, while elevations like Nursery Hill and Le Heup Hill rise above the wetlands. Transportation is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line railroads, which served the smaller communities of Vitis, Richland, and Lumberton. The survey also preserves the layout of the Saint Leo Town Boundary and newer residential developments such as Cunningham Estates and Orange Grove Villas.
