1944 Map of Elfers
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
New Port Richey and Elfers anchor this 1944 survey of the Gulf coast, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Pithlachascotee River and the Anclote River. The region reflects a transitional period of Florida's development, showing the early infrastructure of the Dixie Highway and Gunn Highway alongside established rail corridors of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. Significant water features like Lake Butler, Salt Lake, and Lake Dan are interspersed with scattered woodland and dense brush, illustrating the area's natural drainage before widespread modern alteration. From the coastal prominence of Baileys Bluff to the inland precinct of Seven Springs, the map detail reveals the distribution of orchards and early homesteads across the Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough county lines during the mid-1940s.
