Catalog notes

This map follows the Hillsborough River while an inset places it in the wider setting of Tampa Bay. The pairing makes it an effective example of a local map that still needs regional context. Here the watercourse, rather than an administrative boundary or street grid, guides the reader through the Tampa-area landscape.
