This is Charles E. Isbell's city plan or map of Anna Maria Beach, Florida - one of, if not the first, published maps of the city. Anna Marie Beach is situated on Anna Maria Island, just south of Tampa Bay. Published in a pamphlet by the Anna Maria Beach Company, real estate developers, the map provides a rough plan for the island. City blocks are laid out along a street grid and some blocks are lotted, and an air of modernity pervades. Nonetheless, due to a lack of access, the Florida Land Boom largely bypassed Anna Maria Island. It was not until after World War II that the island underwent major development. (more details)
