About this map

Tampa's complex urban shoreline and industrial waterfront dominate this 2018 survey, reflecting a modern metropolis deeply tied to its maritime origins. The intricate geography of Hillsborough Bay is defined by engineered landforms and deep-water channels, including Hookers Point and Harbour Island. The dense grid of Ybor City transitions into the logistics-heavy corridor of Gary, where shipping channels like the Ybor Channel meet rail and road networks.

Genealogists and local historians can find a remarkable concentration of memorial sites in the northeast, including Garden of Memories Cem, Myrtle Hill Cem, and the unique Showmans Rest Cem. The map tracks the evolution of residential and educational hubs, from the historic Univ of Tampa campus near the Kennedy Bridge to the suburban expansion at Palm River-Clair Mel. Natural features like Palma Ceia Spring and the Hillsborough River persist amidst the heavy development of the Interbay Peninsula.
