1943 Map of Tarpon Springs

About this map

Tarpon Springs serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the Anclote River flows into the protected waters of the Anclote Anchorage. The 1943 shoreline reveals a complex network of coastal inlets and bayous, including Whitcomb Bayou and Tarpon Bayou, which reflect the early maritime orientation of the community before mid-century expansion. Along the coast, Sponge Harbor Pt hints at the area's specialized industry and seafaring history.
