2018 Map of Cape Romano

About this map

Cape Romano and its surrounding archipelago of mangrove islands define the southern edge of Collier County in this recent coastal survey. The map details the complex hydrography of the Ten Thousand Islands area, where the Morgan River empties into Morgan Bay before passing through Morgan Pass to reach the Gulf of Mexico. The landforms here are highly dynamic, consisting of various keys and points such as Big Morgan Island, Rosse Key, and Carr Island. To the east, the waters of Gullivan Bay meet the land at Cape Romano Island. This survey captures the shifting shoreline and offshore hazards like the Cape Romano Shoals, providing a precise look at the uninhabited wilderness of the Florida Gulf coast.
