1974 Map of Thonotosassa

About this map

Lake Thonotosassa dominates the eastern landscape of this mid-1970s Florida survey, serving as a focal point for the surrounding citrus and agricultural communities. To the north, the Hillsborough River meanders through dense wetlands, protected in part by the Hillsborough River State Park, while smaller tributaries like Flint Creek and Baker Creek drain into the lake basin. The map illustrates a period of suburban transition as settlements like Thonotosassa, Temple Terrace, and Harney expand along a network of established corridors, including Fowler Ave and Morris Bridge Road.
