1973 Map of Laurel
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The coastal corridor of Sarasota County in the early 1970s is defined by the parallel paths of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. This survey captures the rapid development of communities like Osprey, Laurel, and Nokomis, where numerous trailer parks and golf courses began to characterize the shoreline landscape. The transition from the dense residential grid at Vamo to the preserved lands of Oscar Scherer State Park along South Creek illustrates the tension between postwar expansion and environmental conservation.
