1964 Map of Plant City
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Gulf Coast of Florida is dominated by a complex network of coastal islands and marshy bays in this mid-century survey. Inland from Gulf of Mexico, the landscape transitions from the protected waters of Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge to the agricultural and rail hubs of Tampa and Plant City. The presence of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads highlights the vital transportation corridors that fueled the growth of central Florida's settlements. Along the shoreline, markers like the Anclote Keys Lighthouse and the Anclote National Wildlife Refuge denote a coastline still largely defined by its natural state, while the spread of communities like Tarpon Springs, New Port Richey, and Zephyrhills shows the steady expansion of the region's suburban and industrial footprint before the massive developments of the late 20th century.
