1956 Map of Pass-A-Grille Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The waters of Boca Ciega Bay and Tampa Bay converge in this mid-century survey of the Pinellas coast. The map illustrates a period of significant dredging and development, visible in the intricate canal systems of Boca Ciega Isle and Isla del Sol, while the massive Sunshine Skyway Toll Bridge provides a primary transit link across the southern waters. At the southern tip, Mullet Key is preserved as Fort Desoto County Park, standing in contrast to the dense residential growth seen in St Petersburg and Gulfport. Shoreline morphology is a central theme here, from the natural barrier of Pass-a-Grille Beach on Long Key to the protected islands of the Pinellas National Wildlife Refuge, including Indian Key and Tarpon Key. Local landmarks like Lake Maggiore, the Municipal Pier, and several community schools like Childs Park Sch provide clear anchor points for historical geography and neighborhood research.
