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 T-sheets for the four study areas: T-1346 Tampa Bay Palmasola Point to Piney Point (1874), T-1411 Hillsboro Bay (1876), T-1409a Lower Sheet of Old Tampa Bay (1875), and T-1409b Upper Sheet of Old Tampa Bay (1875). Scanned T-sheets were acquired from National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) through a third-party service provider and were georectified by the USGS. The study site T-sheet features were digitized in four categories: (1) terrestrial: upland features of forest, pine land, grass and shrub land, freshwater features and swamps, settlements and other features beyond the reach of normal tides, (2) intertidal mangrove: mangrove flats or mangrove marsh, (3) intertidal non-mangrove: salt marsh, barrens, and other non-mangrove features alternately flooded and exposed during the tidal cycle, and (4) open water: permanently submerged marine, estuarine, tidal river, deep water and shallow shoals of tidal water bodies within the chart boundaries. A transition category of marshy scrubland (between intertidal and upland) was digitized for the Terra Ceia study site and included in a shapefile with a fifth category: transitional scrub. Detailed methods for use and interpretation of T-sheets were published by the USGS as Open-File Report 02-211.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Grayscale TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) 600 dpi (dots per inch) T-sheet images were georectified, by matching geographically distributed control and check points between DOQQ and historic chart.
