1956 Map of Gandy Bridge

About this map

The Interbay Peninsula and the eastern shores of Old Tampa Bay define this mid-century coastal landscape. Two major engineering feats, the Gandy Bridge and the Courtney Campbell Parkway, stretch across the water to connect the Tampa region with its western neighbors. Along the peninsula, a burgeoning network of suburban streets and educational institutions like Plant High Sch, Jesuit High Sch, and Madison Jr High Sch signal the era's rapid residential growth.
