1978 Map of Pace

About this map

The delta formed by the Escambia River and Simpson River dominates this mid-1970s landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including Brosnaham Island and Noriegas Island. This period shows the transition of Pace and Ferry Pass from smaller river-adjacent communities into more established suburban hubs, evidenced by the development of the University of West Florida campus and the presence of Pace High Sch. Industrial activity is highly visible along the riverbanks, where numerous industrial waste ponds and a powerplant reflect the era's manufacturing focus.
