About this map

Siesta Key and the surrounding coastal waters of Sarasota County define this map's geography, focusing on the interface between the open Gulf Of Mexico and the sheltered Little Sarasota Bay. The shoreline features the distinct formation at Point O'Rocks and the coastal residential area of White Beach. Navigational and recreational routes are prominent, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl, which skirts the western edge of the keys.

Modern residential development is traced through local roads such as Sanderling RD and Co RD 789, while the natural environment is preserved at the Neville Marine Preserve Trl near the Bird Keys. The map details the narrow inlet at Blind Pass, separating Siesta Key from the northern tip of Casey Key, illustrating the shifting coastal barriers and tidal passages characteristic of the Florida Gulf Coast.
