About this map

The waters of Old Tampa Bay and the Gulf Of Mexico dominate this 2018 survey, illustrating the complex coastal connections between Tampa and St. Petersburg. Large-scale infrastructure defines the modern landscape, most notably the sprawling Tampa International Airport and the massive spans of the Gandy Bridge and Howard Frankland Bridge crossing the bay. On the eastern shore, the Interbay Peninsula shows a dense urban grid reaching down to the historic neighborhood of Rattlesnake.

Away from the primary transit corridors, the map reveals more intimate local details, such as the American Legion Cem and the Hillsborough Community College - Dale Mabry Campus. Small coastal inlets like Pepper Mound Creek and Culbreath Bayou punctuate the developed shoreline, offering a contrast to the industrial and residential expansion of Drew Park. This document captures the bay area at a point of high density, where reclaimed lands at Rocky Point and various bayou systems meet the interstate network of Florida's west coast.
