About this map

Drew Field dominates the landscape of this 1943 survey, reflecting the heavy military footprint on the shores of Tampa Bay during World War II. The map details the Drew Field Military Reservation, complete with a Sub-Machine Gun Range, Rifle Range, and WAC Housing. Coastal development is visible in the burgeoning residential precincts of Beach Park, Bel Mar, and Sunset Park, while the southern end of the sheet is anchored by the community of Rattlesnake near the base of the Gandy Bridge.
