1956 Map of Sulphur Springs

About this map

Sulphur Springs and the northern reaches of Tampa are shown during a significant period of suburban growth, with extensive purple tinting indicating urban expansion recorded in the late 1960s. This survey captures the transition from a landscape defined by numerous lakes and wetlands—such as Lake Carroll, White Trout Lake, and Lake Magdalene—to an integrated residential and municipal grid. Educational and community institutions like the Florida Christian College, Chamberlain School, and Most Holy Redeemer School anchor these emerging neighborhoods.
