About this map

The complex coastal geography of Pinellas County is meticulously detailed in this late 20th-century survey, showcasing the dense residential and recreational development of St Petersburg and Gulfport. The map captures a transition period where natural wildlife habitats such as the Pinellas National Wildlife Refuge on Indian Key exist alongside massive infrastructure projects like the Sunshine Skyway Toll Bridge. Local educational history is represented by numerous neighborhood schools, including Lakeview Sch and St Josephs Sch.

From the finger-island developments of Boca Ciega Isle and Broadwater to the extensive preservation areas within the Pinellas County State Aquatic Preserve, the map illustrates how dredging and fill significantly altered the shoreline of Boca Ciega. Farther south, the undeveloped character of Mullet Key is preserved within Fort Desoto County Park, featuring a Lookout Tower overlooking the deep waters of Tampa Bay.
