About this map

San Antonio and the nearby settlement of St Leo serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of eastern Pasco County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and water bodies, including Clear Lake and the marshy expanses of the Prairie and Cypress. Family and community history is anchored by several rural landmarks such as Amelia Church, Alliance Church, and St Joseph Cemetery, which point to the established Catholic and local pioneer roots of the region.

A network of named branches, such as Bee Tree Branch and Stanley Branch, drains into larger lakes like King Lake and Hudson Lake, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the Florida interior before major modern development. Small communities like Darby appear alongside specialized land uses, including a Golf Course and several other burial grounds like Emmaus Cem and Holden Cem, providing a detailed view of the social geography and settlement patterns of the 1950s.
