1958 Map of Port Boca Grande

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gasparilla Island anchors the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the settlement of Boca Grande and the shipping hub at Port Boca Grande reflect a mid-century maritime economy. This 1958 landscape, with revisions through 1972, highlights the critical deep-water access provided by the Boca Grande Channel linking the Gulf of Mexico to Charlotte Harbor. The presence of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad terminates at the southern tip of the island, underscoring the port's role in transporting Florida's industrial output. South across the pass, the northern end of Cayo Costa remains largely undeveloped, defined by natural features like Murdock Point. Local infrastructure, including a Landing Field and multiple structures marked Lighthouse, points to the essential navigation and transportation needs of this barrier island chain.
