About this map

The Alafia River and its multiple forks define the landscape of eastern Hillsborough County, where traditional Florida hammocks meet modern residential expansion. The community of Lithia serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of suburban developments like Fish Hawk Ranch and Tierra de Amigos. Despite this growth, the map preserves the locations of vital local landmarks such as the Lithia Cem and the Stanchester Airport.

South of Boyette, the terrain transitions into more open spaces including Stallion Hammock and Chapman Hammock, intersected by waterways like Long Flat Cr and Bell Cr. These features, alongside the Doe Creek Reserve, highlight the tension between the region's agricultural roots and its 21st-century residential character. The mapping of the Wimauma-Lithia Division provides a clear boundary for researchers studying the mid-2010s administrative and development patterns in this fast-changing corridor.
