About this map

The industrial and maritime heart of Tampa is laid bare in this late 20th-century survey, showcasing a complex network of shipping channels and rail infrastructure. The Hillsborough River cuts through the urban center, meeting the deep-water corridors of the Ybor Channel, Sparkman Channel, and Garrison Channel that surround Harbour Island. To the south, the aviation history of Davis Islands is anchored by the Peter O Knight Airport, while the eastern landscape is dominated by the sprawling Uceta Yard of the Seaboard System railroad.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of burial grounds and historic neighborhoods. Clusters of cemeteries, including Myrtle Hill Cemetery, Centro Asturiano Cem, and the specialized Showmans Rest Cem, serve as cultural landmarks for the city's diverse heritage. From the historic streets of Ybor City to the waterfront at Ballast Point, the map documents the city's evolution into a modern port hub while preserving the names of early schools like Hillsborough High Sch and Sacred Heart Academy.
