1956 Map of Sulphur Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Sulphur Springs district and the developing northern reaches of Tampa are the focus of this mid-century topographical record, showing a landscape in rapid transition. While the dense grid of the city pushes northward along Florida Ave, the northern portion of the map reveals the area's original hydrologic character, defined by an immense cluster of named water bodies such as Lake Magdalene, Lake Carroll, and White Trout Lake. The expansion of the suburban footprint is evident in the presence of the University of South Florida and Florida Christian College, set against older rural markers like the Hamner Lookout Tower and Lake Carroll Cem. The winding course of the Hillsborough River anchors Temple Terrace, while the Seaboard Coast Line railroad bisects the growing residential blocks, passing by landmarks like the local Racetrack and Drive-in Theater.
