About this map

Port Richey and the Pithlachascotee River serve as the focal point for this coastal Pasco County study, which reflects the early 1950s landscape with substantial updates from the late 1980s. The shoreline is a complex network of wetlands and inlets, including Millers Bayou and Salt Springs Run, while the inland area is punctuated by dozens of small bodies of water like Hudson Lake and Dead Cypress Lake.

Social and civic life is anchored by landmarks such as the Booker T Washington Sch and Union Ch, alongside local burying grounds like Stark Cem and Hudson Cem. The transition from mid-century rurality to suburban expansion is evident in the purple-hued updates, showing dense development around Bayonet Point and New Port Richey. A small Landing Strip and various trailer parks illustrate the shifting transport and housing patterns of the Florida Gulf Coast during this era.
