Tampa and St. Petersburg face one another across the expansive waters of Old Tampa Bay in this contemporary topographical view. The map highlights the intense coastal development and maritime infrastructure that defines the region, from the residential grids of Shore Acres to the strategic positioning of MacDill Air Force Base on the Interbay Peninsula. The boundary between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties cuts directly through the open water, illustrating the administrative divide in this shared harbor. On the western shore, the Albert Whitted Airport stands as a prominent landmark on the St. Petersburg waterfront, while Port Tampa occupies the eastern peninsula, anchoring the industrial and transport networks of the bay. The map provides a clear look at the complex shoreline, where urban expansion meets the intricate inlets and channels of the Florida coast.
