The Alafia River and its South Channel define the coastal landscape of eastern Tampa Bay, where the river meets the Gulf Of Mexico. This coastal region is marked by a series of developed residential waterfronts and managed waterways, including Hog and Hominy Cove and the Big Bend Channel. The map illustrates the growth of communities like Gibsonton and Apollo Beach, showing a complex network of suburban streets and coastal infrastructure. The Doyle Carlton Bridge spans Bullfrog Creek, connecting the established settlements of Gardenville and Remlap to the industrial and residential corridors of East Tampa. Inland, the landscape is punctuated by named waterways such as Newman Branch and Jackson Br, while the bay contains several distinctive landmarks like Whiskey Stump Key and Pine Key. The spatial layout reveals the transition from the Interbay Peninsula across to the expanding residential developments of North Ruskin and Adamsville.
