Anna Maria Island and the neighboring barrier keys form a complex coastal landscape where the Gulf of America meets the shallow reaches of Sarasota Bay and Anna Maria Sound. The map documents the residential patterns of established beach communities including Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, and the northern stretch of Longboat Key. These areas are characterized by a dense network of local streets and canals, particularly evident around Ilexhurst and the fishing village of Cortez, which sits just inland of the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey provides a contemporary view of modern recreational corridors like the Manatee County Blueway Trl and the Long Boat Key Bike Trl. Extensive wetland areas and small keys, such as the Sister Keys and Tidy Island, highlight the ecological preservation efforts alongside the developed coastal frontage.
