About this map

Old Tampa Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the major causeways and bridges connect the urban centers of the Florida gulf coast. The landscape is characterized by the intricate relationship between residential developments and tidal waters, seen in the finger canals of Minneola and the coastal marshes near Cabbagehead Bayou. Major infrastructure projects are prominent, including the sprawling grounds of Tampa International Airport and the athletic complexes of Raymond James Stadium and Houlihan Stadium.

Beyond the modern transit corridors, smaller local features provide historical depth, such as the American Legion Cem and the Sweetwater settlement. The shoreline is punctuated by geographic markers like Rocky Point and smaller water bodies such as Pepper Mound Creek and Culbreath Bayou. Boating access points, notably the "Salty" Sol Boat Ramp, highlight the region's enduring maritime culture and recreational economy.
