1921 Map of St Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

St. Petersburg and its surrounding littoral landscape are documented here during a period of early coastal development, based on field work directed by Col. W. M. Black. The geography is defined by the intricate peninsular coastlines of Old Tampa Bay and Boca Ciega Bay, featuring a network of tidal inlets like Papy's Bayou and Smack Bayou. Early infrastructure is evident in the 24.4 Ft. Dredged Channel leading toward Port Tampa and the presence of a Brick Road near Culbreath Bayou. Inland, the map reveals scattered settlements such as Pinellas Park and Lealman, alongside more established areas like Seven Oaks and Bay View. The prevalence of named points such as Sunrise Pt. and Papy's Pt. suggests a landscape where navigation and shoreline access were central to the local economy and social structure before the mid-century population boom.
