1964 Map of Palmetto

About this map

Terra Ceia Island and the northern reaches of the Manatee River define this coastal landscape, where the 1960s expansion of the Sunshine Skyway begins its leap across Tampa Bay. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural and maritime patterns to modern suburban growth, notably around Palmetto and Memphis. Cultural landmarks like Bickel Mound Park sit near intricate bayous and passes, such as Big Miguel Pass and Tillette Bayou, which highlight the complex shoreline of Terra Ceia Bay.
