Published in 1913 by Tampa civil engineer Benjamin Sullivan and draftsman Charles Isbell, this map portrays the thriving Tampa area of the early twentieth century. West Tampa, founded in 1892, did not become part of the City of Tampa until 1925. Vastly expanded by dredging, the small island in the bay became Davis Islands during the 1920s land boom. To its east is Seddon Island, a utilitarian port facility in 1913, now known as Harbour Island, a residential community.
