1973 Map of Tarpon Springs

About this map

Anclote Key State Preserve and the barrier islands of the Anclote Keys shield the mainland from the Gulf of Mexico, framing the quiet waters of Anclote Anchorage. Along the coast, the transition from maritime wilderness to suburban development is evident in the mid-1970s. Residential fingers stretch into the salt marshes at Gulf Harbors and Beacon Square, while the traditional core of Tarpon Springs remains centered around the intricate waterways of Whitcomb Bayou and Spring Bayou.
