Provided by:
Collection:
The Frizzell and Curtis Collection
Subject:
| Aerial, Charlotte Harbor, Bayshore Road, Tamiami Trail, Drive-in Theater, King's Highway |
Description:
This aerial photo, showing a portion of the north shore of Charlotte Harbor, includes the harborside settlement platted as Hickory Bluff. The curving street in the foreground is Bayshore Road and the graded pentagonal patch at center left is the Charlotte Harbor Drive-in Theater (now the site of the Town & Country Shopping Plaza). The citrus grove seen at lower left is now part of Port Charlotte. The street bisecting the upper half of the photo from left to right is Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) and the road that cuts from Tamiami Trail on the far right and meanders north into the background is King's Highway, an old Indian path later used by Fort Ogden rancher Ziba King to herd cattle destined for shipment from the Charlotte Harbor dock.
