About this map

New Port Richey and Tarpon Springs anchor this coastal Florida landscape, where the freshwater systems of the interior meet the Gulf of Mexico. The residential development of Elfers, Holiday, and Seven Springs is defined by a intricate network of water bodies, from the sprawling Lake Tarpon in the south to the winding Anclote River and Pithlachascotee River further north. These waterways, along with smaller features like Salt Lake and Lake Chasco, suggest a suburban geography deeply integrated with the region's natural hydrography.

Local heritage is preserved in several significant sites, including the East Elfers Cem and Cycadia Cem, while the educational presence of the Trinity College of Florida stands near Duck Slough. The transition between Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties is visible here, marking a densely settled corridor of the Florida Gulf Coast where residential tracts like Beacon Square and Forest Hills have expanded around traditional bayous and creeks.
