Cartobibliographic notes:
The War department decommissioned Fort Brooke in 1882 and transferred the land to the Department of the Interior. Despite the efforts of several determined Tampans, who had hoped the property would be turned over to the town for use as a large park, the fort was opened up for homesteading. Though occupied by a number of people with both legal and illegal claims on the land, the Department of the Interior entertained a plan to construct a marine hospital on part of the vacated fort land. That plan never materialized, but this map was produced during the planning process.
