Kitschy Cartography: Illustrated and Pictorial Maps of Florida

Maps aren’t just about geography. As Rodney Kite-Powell, Director of The Tampa Bay History Center’s Touchton Map Library, reminds us, they also convey a broader idea of what to expect as you explore the areas featured on that map. In Kitschy Cartography, on exhibit now through April 2, 2023, visitors will see views of Florida and its cities through the eyes of artists who populate their maps with colorful characters that symbolize the history, industries, and people of the state.
