1995 Map of Sulphur Springs

About this map

The Hillsborough River snakes through this suburban landscape north of Tampa, defining the geography of neighborhoods like Sulphur Springs and Temple Terrace. By the mid-1990s, the area had transitioned into a dense residential and academic hub, anchored by the sprawling campus of the University of Southern Florida and the world-renowned Busch Gardens. The map reveals an intricate network of water bodies, from Lake Carroll to the smaller Egypt Lake, which are integrated into the neighborhood fabric. Pockets of local history remain visible in the placement of the Shady Grove Cemetery, Country Cem, and the Hamner Lookout Tower. Significant civic infrastructure is represented by the County Hospital and numerous schools like Most Holy Redeemer Sch and Chamberlain Sch, reflecting the postwar development boom that transformed these citrus-growing regions into the metropolitan core of Hillsborough County.
