Historic data for four study areas, Terra Ceia, Alafia River, Feather Sound, and Old Tampa Bay were converted to digital geographic format. Four datasets were prepared by the USGS from these sources: (1) georectified raster images of 1870s T-sheets, (2) polygons digitized along historic boundaries on 4 T-sheets delineating marine, intertidal, and terrestrial habitats, (3) line and point features digitized from PLS notes and measurements, depicting landscape characteristics and witness trees along Township and Range lines (1842-1858), and (4) regional historic maps in digital image format. The raster images and vector data document historic coastal conditions in Tampa Bay, depicting the coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-1800s. Users of the data should be aware that the data reflect survey methods and perspectives from the 19th century. The shoreline and other features may have changed in the intervening years. This data series includes two regional historic maps: (1) a georectified 1:80,000-scale T-sheet of the entire Tampa Bay, compiled in 1879 (T177), and (2) a four-tile mosaic of Florida's west coast during the 19th century, from Wakulla to Manatee County. Purpose: Members of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Tampa Bay Study Wetlands Task converted historic geographic data to digital formats for use in change analysis. The USGS evaluated and quantified long-term change (greater than 100 years) using generalized categories from digitized historic coastal features (Yates and others, 2011; Raabe and others, 2012). Historic to modern assessments incorporate data from different sources and time periods to understand landscape change and the impact of natural processes and human activities on coastal ecosystems. Recovery of historic data to a digital setting responds to the need for data integration through time, bridging technical gaps and differences. Supplemental_Information: The Coast and Geodetic Survey (CGS) surveyed the coast of Tampa Bay, Florida between 1874 and 1878 at 1:20,000 for navigation purposes. In 1879 a compilation T-sheet, T177, was prepared by CGS from the 1:20,000 charts for the entire Tampa Bay area at a scale of 1:80,000. Originally acquired by the USGS for a study of the Interbay Peninsula (Raabe and Schwarz, 2007), a georectified copy of this historic chart is included in this data release (T177_1879_TBAY.tif). The 5-m-resolution image was georectified according to methods outlined here, in Raabe and others (2004), and Raabe and Schwarz (2007). A georeferenced regional mosaic of 19th century surveys (T-sheets) was prepared by the USGS from the Tampa Bay study and previous USGS studies (Raabe and others, 2004; Raabe and Schwarz, 2007). The mosaic extends from Ocklocknee Bay to Tampa Bay, along a 460-kilometer (km) stretch of Florida's west coast. The 5-m-resolution image includes the nineteen 1:20,000-scale T-sheets from the Big Bend (Raabe and others, 2004), the 1:80,000-scale Tampa Bay T177 (Raabe and Schwarz, 2007), and two connecting charts: Clearwater Harbor to Anclote Keys T1698 surveyed in 1884, and Ocklockonee Bay T771 surveyed in 1859, each at 1:20,000-scale. The majority of the historic coast has been digitized (Raabe and others, 2004). The Florida West Coast T-sheet mosaic is divided in four image tiles by county: Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor (Wak_Jef_Tay_Tsheet.tif), Dixie and Levy (Dixie_Levy_Tsheet.tif), Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco (Cit_Her_Pas_Tsheet.tif), and Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee (Pin_Hil_Man_Tsheet.tif) Counties.

Points were selected using stable features, least prone to change, such as a rock promontory or an undeveloped embayment and matched to features in DOQQ or Landsat TM satellite imagery (Raabe and others, 2004). Projected to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system and WGS84 datum.
