2024 Map of Corkscrew

About this map

Corkscrew Swamp dominates this landscape, defining a vast complex of wetlands and interior island hammocks along the border of Lee and Collier counties. This contemporary survey reveals a mosaic of protected natural terrain and modern rural residential growth. Pockets of development are evidenced by corridors like Corkscrew-Limes Blvd and the Corkscrew Trace Airpark, which sit alongside ancient features like Lake Trafford. The map traces the specific geography of various "islands"—elevated grounds within the wetlands such as Ruess Island, Little Corkscrew Island, and Big Corkscrew Island. Named drainage and marsh features, including Horseshoe Marsh and Poggie Strand, provide a technical look at the hydrological system of this region in the 2020s, showing how modern road networks like Oil Well Grade Rd now navigate the historic swamp boundaries.
