Railroad crossing, looking east, of the Atlantic Coast RR line in Gibsonton, Florida. Compare with 1948 aerial view of Gibsonton. This 1950 view is NOT likely at today's Gibsonton Drive, but is at another east/west link to US 541, which became US41.

Items relating to Apollo Beach not otherwise classified. Includes materials used in the marketing of Apollo Beach.

This is the same area as in the Looking West: 1960 picture but from the opposite view. Clearly evidence of the dredge and fill technique being used to create AB. Compare this photo with the 1957 photo to show the addition of the dredged land, creating finger canals.

Looking West at very early Apollo Beach development. At the left side of the developed land is today's Miller Mac Road. On the right, is the Flamingo Canal. US 41 is at the bottom of the page. Note the early sales of lots in the first phases of the property, in what is known as the "F" Street section as most streets begin with the letter "F." Also note the early dredge and fill at the bayside section of the development, which created Apollo Beach's signature finger canal land development.
