2012 Map of Tarpon Springs

About this map

The Anclote Key Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the southern tip of Anclote Key, overlooking the protected waters of the Anclote Anchorage. This coastal landscape is defined by an intricate network of islands and keys, including Dutchman Key and North Anclote Key, separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Mexico. On the shore, the town of Tarpon Springs is woven together by water, with Kreamer Bayou, Tarpon Bayou, and Whitcomb Bayou cutting deep into the residential grid. The map reveals the modern development of communities like Gulf Harbors and Sunset Hills alongside established educational hubs like Saint Petersburg Community College. To the north, the winding course of the Anclote River passes the settlement of Anclote and the Anclote Bridge, illustrating the complex relationship between Florida's suburban growth and its fragile estuarine environment.
