1973 Map of Tarpon Springs

About this map

Tarpon Springs stands as the primary hub of this 1970s coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by its intricate bayous and the sponge-fishing heritage associated with the Anclote River. The map documents significant residential expansion in communities such as Gulf Harbors, Beacon Square, and Holiday, showing the conversion of coastal terrain into suburban developments. Along the shoreline, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad facilitates transport through Anclote and Victor, while the Intracoastal Waterway navigates the waters between the mainland and the offshore Anclote Keys. Local landmarks like St Petersburg Jr College, Calvary Ch, and Mt Herman Ch provide clear reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the mid-century growth of Pinellas and Pasco counties.
