2024 Map of Tarpon Springs

About this map

The coastal waters of Saint Joseph Sound and the Gulf of Mexico define the landscape of this Florida Gulf Coast region, where the intricate shoreline of Tarpon Springs meets the mouth of the Anclote River. The map details the transition from the developed suburban corridors of Holiday and Beacon Square in Pasco County to the historic waterfront of Pinellas County. Notable hydrologic features include a dense network of bayous such as Whitcomb Bayou, Spring Bayou, and Kreamer Bayou, which have long shaped the settlement and identity of the local sponge-diving community. Offshore, the Anclote Keys chain, including Anclote Key and the North Keys, provides a natural barrier. The map also traces the modern residential growth seen in developments like Key Vista and Gulf Harbors, contrasting with more natural landmarks like Baileys Bluff and The Sawgrasses.
