1957 Map of Placida

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Gasparilla Island and its neighboring barrier keys define this mid-century coastal survey of the Florida Gulf coast. The landscape is shaped by the presence of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, which runs the length of the islands toward Boca Grande, indicating the vital role of rail transport in the local economy and development before the modern highway era. The small settlement of Placida serves as a mainland hub, overlooking Placida Harbor where a Ferry Landing once connected these island communities to the mainland.
