About this map

Dade City serves as the focal point of this Pasco County survey, showcasing a landscape defined by its numerous lakes and developing mid-century residential pockets. To the west, the community of Saint Leo and the residential clusters of Clinton Heights and South Clinton Heights mark the post-war growth of the region. The map highlights a significant network of water bodies, including the large Lake Pasadena, Buddy Lake, and the uniquely named Knee Deep Lake.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as Mount Zion Cem and Mickens Sch Cem, alongside rural settlements like Ellerslie, Vitis, and Lumberton. The industrial character of the era is evidenced by a Sandpit and Claypit, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad provides a clear corridor for transport through the heart of the county. High elevations are noted at Le Heup Hill and Greer Hill, providing a topographical contrast to the low-lying wetlands surrounding the Withlacoochee River.
