2012 Map of Lithia

About this map

Lithia Springs and the winding course of the Alafia River dominate this landscape, which transitioned from traditional Florida hammocks to residential developments by the early twenty-first century. The map preserves the names of several distinct topographical elevations and forested islands within the terrain, including Coleman Hammock, Chapman Hammock, and Stallion Hammock. These features are interspersed with an intricate network of waterways like Fishhawk Cr and Chito Br. While the northern section shows denser settlement patterns around Lithia and Pinecrest, the southern portion near Picnic retains a more rural character. This era of the landscape is marked by a blend of old local landmarks, such as the Lithia Cem and Po, alongside modern aviation infrastructure like Stanchester Airport, illustrating the suburban expansion of Hillsborough County.
