1957 Map of Placida

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gasparilla Island and its surrounding keys define this coastal area as it appeared before the surge of late-20th-century development. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs south along the peninsula to the settlement of Boca Grande, a vital link for the region's early maritime and agricultural economy. Near the mainland at Placida, the tracks cross Coral Creek and Placida Harbor, anchoring a landscape of tidal marshes and intricate waterways including the West Branch and East Branch of the creek.
