About this map

Boca Ciega Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway define this coastal landscape, separating the mainland from a chain of barrier islands including Treasure Island and Madeira Beach. The map documents a period of significant development along the Pinellas County shoreline, showing a complex network of residential finger canals in Redington Shores and Paradise Island. Inland, the community of Seminole is established around local landmarks like the Seminole Sr High Sch and the Co Agricultural Vocation Center.

Institutional and industrial footprints are prominent, ranging from the sprawling VA Hospital at Bay Pines to the U S Reservation Pinellas Plant (AEC) in the northeast. Transportation is dominated by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and numerous water crossings like Johns Pass and Blind Pass. Local spiritual and community life is reflected in the high density of neighborhood churches, such as St Jerome Ch and Faith United Ch.
