About this map

Port Charlotte emerges as a focal point of urban development in this mid-century survey, which documents the transformation of the Florida landscape near the confluence of the Peace River and Deep Cr. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional land patterns, such as the Old Grade and the small settlement of Platt, meet the planned grid of expanding residential blocks. To the south, Harbour Heights sits along the riverbank, while the interior is bisected by the Cocoplum Waterway and the North Port Corp Bdy.
