1973 Map of Parrish

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Parrish serves as the focal point of this inland Manatee County landscape, situated where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad intersects a network of agricultural roads and drainage projects. The map illustrates a transitional period of land use, where traditional citrus groves and hamlets meet expanding recreational and residential interests. Along the Manatee River, the terrain shifts from the low-lying Tidal Flat and Marsh Island to established sites like the Christian Retreat Campground and a public Boat Ramp at the end of Fort Hamer Road. Genealogy and local history are anchored by the Fortner Cem and several country churches, including St Marys Ch and Mill Creek Ch. The influence of water management is evident in the straight lines of the Buffalo Canal and Frye Canal, which contrast with the meandering course of Gamble Creek and the natural wetlands of Big Sawgrass and Cabbage Slough.
