1956 Map of Safety Harbor

About this map

Old Tampa Bay dominates this mid-century coastal landscape, serving as the central basin for a rapidly developing corridor between Clearwater and St Petersburg. The map documents the extensive infrastructure required to bridge these waters, most notably the Courtney Campbell Causeway and the Howard Franklin Bridge. Along the northern shores, the settlement of Safety Harbor sits adjacent to Alligator Lake and Cooper Bayou, while the southern reaches show the early footprint of the St Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport.
