Simplified map locates the passenger depots and track routes of the ACL (red) and SAL (green) mainlines in Dade City in 1962. The Plant System's South Florida Railroad (later the ACL) built the tracks through what is now Dade City sometime in 1884. The first regular train of the Florida Railway & Navigation Company (later the SAL) is said to have passed through Dade City in September of 1885. That line was initially narrow gauge.

Military ruins on the beach side of the island (just beyond the background palms). This was once a observation tower. Egmont Key has a lot of history. In 1898 a coastal defense system was built to protect the west coast of Florida from a possible Spanish invasion. This Fort became known as Fort Dade. By World War I their was a complete town on the island complete with a school, post office, hospital, theater, etc. Several miles of brick streets are still there today. This path connected the military fortress to the town.
