About this map

Saint Petersburg and its neighboring communities of Pinellas Park, Kenneth City, and Gulfport dominate this dense urban landscape at the edge of Tampa Bay and Boca Ciega Bay. The map reveals a highly developed grid of residential streets and arterial roads, punctuated by dozens of educational and religious institutions such as Farragut Academy, St Petersburg Jr College, and St Jude School. The coastal interface is particularly detailed, showing the intricate finger canals of South Causeway Isle and the active waterfront operations at Albert Whitted Airport and the U S Coast Guard Station near Bayboro Harbor.

Inland, the drainage patterns of Saint Joes Creek and Tinney Creek navigate through the built environment, while larger green spaces like Sawgrass Lake Park and Memorial Park Cemetery provide a break in the suburban sprawl. The inclusion of industrial and utility sites, including the Water Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal Plant, offers a clear picture of the infrastructure required to support this major Florida population center during the late 20th century.
