U.S. 301 passes through Brandon, which is one of the largest (populated) unincorporated areas in the United States. Here, U.S. 301 approaches Florida 574, which follows Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard west toward Tampa and east to Interstate 75, parallel to Interstate 4. Photo taken 11/18/03.
Much farther north, U.S. 301 aligns itself close to Interstate 75 as it approaches Wildwood, just north of Coleman. Here U.S. 301 northbound approaches Florida's Turnpike (Florida 91), which is marked with an older shield with a slightly off representation of the state of Florida. The Turnpike extends north to Interstate 75 and south to Orlando. Photo taken 11/18/03.
