1958 Map of Port Boca Grande

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gasparilla Island serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the southern tip hosts the established community of Boca Grande and the industrial hub of Port Boca Grande. The map illustrates a critical maritime and rail intersection, featuring the terminus of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a prominent Lighthouse guarding the entrance to Charlotte Harbor. This 1973 photorevised edition documents the landscape as it stood in the late 1950s, with updates showing a Landing Field and residential expansion. Across the deep waters of the Boca Grande Channel lies Cayo Costa, marked by Murdock Point and the transition into the Gulf of Mexico. The inclusion of a large Spoil Area reflects the ongoing maintenance of the shipping lanes vital to the region's phosphate and maritime economy.
