2018 Map of Bokeelia

About this map

Pine Island Sound and the northern reaches of Lee County's coastal islands are documented here with striking precision. The landscape is a complex network of keys and bayous, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads between the mainland and the Gulf barrier. The settlement of Bokeelia serves as a northern anchor, while Pineland sits further south along the shore. Historical and archaeological interest is centered on features like Faulkner Mound and the various named keys such as Cabbage Key and Useppa Island. This environment is shaped by water, from the wide expanse of Charlotte Harbor to smaller inlets like Murdock Bayou and Back Bay. The map details the transition from residential developments near Pine Island Center and the Pine Island Airport to the undeveloped stretches of Cayo Costa, reflecting the area's dual nature as a inhabited coastal community and a preserved natural estuary.
