About this map

Bokeelia and Pineland anchor the northern reaches of Pine Island in this coastal Florida survey. The map details a complex labyrinth of mangrove islands, shoals, and bayous where Charlotte Harbor meets Pine Island Sound. This modern landscape is characterized by a mix of residential development around Bokeelia Rd and significant cultural heritage sites, including Howard Mound and Faulkner Mound. The extensive waterway network is highlighted by the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl and the Great Calusa Blueway Trail Phase II Trl, which navigate past Useppa Island, Cabbage Key, and Mondongo Island.

Transportation on land centers on Stringfellow Road Trl and the private Pine Island Airport, providing access to the fishing and boating communities. The western edge of the map includes the shoreline of Cayo Costa and the Cayo Costa State Park Trl, separated from the main island by Pelican Pass and Pelican Bay. This map documents a unique subtropical environment where ancient mounds and modern preserves like Carver Preserve Trl coexist along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
