2015 Map of Corkscrew SE

About this map

The master-planned community of Orangetree serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, illustrating the grid-based suburban expansion into the Collier County interior. This landscape is defined by its transition from island-like terrain features such as Big Corkscrew Island, Forth Island, and Curry Island to a highly organized network of numbered avenues and boulevards. Significant thoroughfares like Immokalee Rd and Everglades Blvd N facilitate movement through large-lot residential tracts and developing neighborhoods. The naming conventions for local streets, including Purple Martin Dr, Limpkin RD, and Wild Turkey Dr, reflect a deliberate integration of regional wildlife motifs into the modern development pattern. This map documents a specific phase of Floridian urbanization where traditional wetlands and "islands" were being systematically integrated into the expanding footprint of the Naples hinterland.
