1974 Map of Oldsmar

About this map

Lake Tarpon dominates the northwestern landscape of this mid-1970s survey, its waters reaching toward the Gulf via the Lake Tarpon Canal. The region is defined by a transition from the developing residential communities of Dunedin and Clearwater to the more open wetlands near Mobbly Bayou. In the south, the city of Oldsmar is centered at the head of Safety Harbor, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the terrain. Significant cultural landmarks include the Espiritu Santo Ch and the extensive grounds of Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park. Notable historical depth is found at the Indian Mound on Philippe Pt, suggesting the long-standing importance of this coastal geography. This era shows the expansion of leisure and suburban infrastructure, from the Innisbrook Golf Course in the north to the Landing Strip and Camp Soule further south.
