1944 Map of Thonotosassa

About this map

Lake Thonotosassa anchors this wartime survey of Hillsborough County, revealing a landscape of Florida wetlands and growing settlements at the mid-century. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the community of Clarkwild and connecting the northern groves with Temple Terrace Junction to the southwest. The river systems are prominent, with the Hillsborough River winding through the north, fed by Trout Creek and Cow House Creek.
