Old Tampa Bay dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the central divide between the developed residential fingers of St. Petersburg and the industrial and military infrastructure of the Interbay Peninsula. On the eastern shore, the strategic presence of Mac Dill Air Force Base occupies the southern tip of the peninsula, while the historic maritime community of Port Tampa sits just north along the Port Tampa Channel. Across the water to the west, the intricate shoreline reveals a complex network of canals and dredged developments including Venetian Isles and Snell Isle, contrasting with the more natural mangroves of Weedon Island and Weedon Hammock. The southern edge of the map includes the aviation facilities at Albert Whitted Airport, marking the edge of the downtown waterfront area where Coffeepot Bayou and Snell Island Harbor meet the open bay.
