1956 Map of Gandy Bridge
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Interbay Peninsula and the eastern shores of Old Tampa Bay are captured during a period of intense mid-century urbanization. Three major crossings dominate the aquatic landscape: the Courtney Campbell Causeway, the Howard Frankland Bridge, and the eponymous Gandy Bridge. These arteries connect the rising residential and industrial sectors of Rattlesnake and Drew Park to the wider region. On land, the map documents a dense network of local institutions, including Plant High Sch and the American Legion Cem. The presence of the Tampa International Airport and Al Lopez Field underscores the area's development as a transportation hub. Along the shoreline, the natural hydrology of Cabbagehead Bayou and Sweetwater Creek meets the engineered geometry of modern Florida coastal expansion.
