1954 Map of San Antonio

About this map

San Antonio and the neighboring community of St Leo anchor this mid-century survey of eastern Pasco County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, ranging from larger basins like Clear Lake and King Lake to the scattered depressions of Bird Island Lakes and Dick Lake. This period captures the area's agricultural and religious character, marked by numerous rural landmarks such as Amelia Ch and Alliance Ch, alongside the Emmaus Cem and Holden Cem. The transit infrastructure is centered on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, which cuts through the settlement of Pasco and winds past Thomas Prairie. To the north, the small community of Darby sits near a complex drainage system including Cypress Spring and Bee Tree Branch, illustrating the intricate hydrology that influenced the development of these Florida settlements.
