1956 Map of Port Tampa

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Interbay Peninsula dominates this coastal survey, serving as a critical strategic and industrial hub on the eastern shores of Old Tampa Bay. The massive footprint of Mac Dill Air Force Base occupies the southern tip, while the Port Tampa Dock and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad infrastructure at Port Tampa illustrate the mid-century maritime economy. Across the water, the residential growth of St Petersburg is evident in neighborhoods like Snell Isle and Shore Acres, which sit just north of the Municipal Pier and Whitted Airport. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, from the preserved reaches of Weedon Island and Weedon Hammock to the managed waters of the Temporary Explosives Anchorage and Quarantine Anchorage, marking this as a vital crossroads of civilian aviation, military defense, and deep-water shipping.
