About this map

Manasota Peninsula stretches across this mid-century survey, forming a narrow barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the sheltered waters of Lemon Bay. The coastal landscape is defined by its transition from saltwater to marsh, particularly where Forked Creek meets the bay. On the mainland, the County Landing Field highlights early aviation infrastructure in Sarasota County, while the surrounding topography shows the beginnings of residential development along the shore. This map records the bathymetry and shoreline exactly as they were before the significant dredging and harbor modifications of later decades, making it a primary source for understanding the natural hydrology of the Florida Gulf Coast during the 1950s.
