North Port: Then (1948) and Then (1983)

 In 1983 The New College Environmental Studies Program contracted with GDC (General Development Corporation) to conduct a study looking at wildlife habitat and fire. At that time Nort Port was roughly half the size it is today, consisting of a township and a half (56 square miles). As part of our work we tried to depict conditions in 1948 compared to 1983. The first (1948) illustration shows the numerous sloughs that cut through what would become the City.
