About this map

St Petersburg dominates the peninsula in the late 1950s, showing a landscape defined by rapid residential expansion and its maritime geography between Boca Ciega Bay and Tampa Bay. This photorevised edition captures the intensification of local infrastructure, from the prominent Albert Whitted Airport on the harbor to the numerous educational facilities like St Petersburg Jr College and Farragut Academy. The map reveals the intricate drainage and canal systems, including Saint Joes Creek and Sawgrass Lake, which were integral to developing the low-lying terrain.
