1964 Map of Egmont Key

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Egmont Key stands as a vital maritime sentinel at the mouth of Tampa Bay, documented here through data revised in the late 1960s. This survey emphasizes the island's strategic role in coastal navigation and defense, showing the established Lighthouse and Lookout Tower on the northern end. Of particular interest to historians are the noted Ruins further south, hinting at the island's long history of military occupation and shifting sands. The surrounding waters are meticulously charted, from the deep Egmont Channel to the southern Passage Key Inlet. The boundary between Hillsborough and Manatee Counties cuts through the Southwest Channel, illustrating how this isolated key anchors the regional geography where the bay meets the Gulf of Mexico.
