1944 Map of Egmont Key

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Egmont Key stands as a strategic sentinel at the mouth of Tampa Bay, mapped here during the height of the second World War. The island's landscape is dominated by navigational and defensive infrastructure, ranging from the prominent Egmont Key Lt Ho to the Fort Dade Flagstaff. The presence of a Rifle Range and a Casemate reflects the ongoing military utility of the site, while the Weather Bureau Mast and Pilot Lookout highlight its role in maritime safety. Surrounded by the Egmont Channel and the Southwest Channel, this survey captures the keys' configuration before modern coastal changes, detailing technical landmarks like the Fog Bell, Radio Masts, and the Egmont Channel Range Front Light. The map also clearly delineates the maritime border between Hillsborough Co and Manatee Co.
