1958 Map of Port Boca Grande

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Gasparilla Island anchors this coastal survey, showcasing the maritime and rail infrastructure at the southern tip of the island during the late 1950s. The settlement of Boca Grande is clearly defined, featuring a Yacht Basin, a Lighthouse, and a Landing Field that indicate its role as a significant coastal destination. Further south, Port Boca Grande serves as the terminus for the Seaboard Air Line railroad, illustrating the historical link between industrial rail transport and Florida's deep-water harbors. Across the Boca Grande Channel, the northern reaches of Lacosta Island appear largely undeveloped, marked only by Murdock Point and the shifting sands of Big Shoal. The hydrography, compiled from earlier charts, details the complex depths of Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico, providing a precise record of the shoreline before decades of coastal change.
