[Top photo] appeared in a 1920's Port Richey Land Company Brochure with the caption, "The Pithlachascotee {Cotee} River flowing down to the sea and the Dixie Highway, which parallels the river for almost a mile at this point.  The road is much frequented by automobile tourists.  The palm trees and tropical foliage shown in this picture are typical of this beautiful river throughout almost its entire length.  (Photo courtesy of the West Pasco Historical Society)
