1958 Map of Port Boca Grande

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Gasparilla Island serves as the focal point for this maritime-oriented survey, anchoring the northern edge of the deep water pass where Charlotte Harbor meets the Gulf of Mexico. The rail-to-sea connection is clearly defined by the Seaboard Air Line railroad, which terminates at the phosphate shipping facilities of Port Boca Grande. This industrial presence contrasts with the adjacent village of Boca Grande, shown here with its Yacht Basin and a small Landing Field for island access. Navigational markers like the southern Lighthouse and the Boca Grande Channel lights highlight the area's importance as a commercial gateway. To the south, across the pass, the northern tip of Lacosta Island appears undeveloped, featuring natural landmarks such as Murdock Point and the shifting sands of Big Shoal.
