Cartobibliographic notes:
The "Plant System" was a network of railroads, river steamer lines, and ocean steamship lines, built by industrialist Henry B. Plant across the Florida Atlantic Seaboard. The system established Tampa as a shipping hub between the rest of the U.S. and the Caribbean. The system transformed Tampa from a small town of about 700 to a fully industrialized city of over 7,000. A key part of this system was a tourist industry built on America's burgeoning leisure class, and Plant built eight luxury hotels along his rail line, the grandest of which was The Tampa Bay Hotel.
