About this map

El Jobean and the western fringes of Port Charlotte sit at the confluence of the Myakka River and the upper reaches of Charlotte Harbor. This coastal landscape is defined by an intricate network of residential canals and waterways, including the Sioux Waterway, Butterford Waterway, and the Rotonda River. These man-made features interlace with natural estuarine environments such as Tippecanoe Bay and Muddy Cove, illustrating the late-20th-century development patterns typical of the Florida Gulf Coast.

South of the main settlements, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and tidal flats. Significant landforms like Hog Island and the McCall Sand Flats are visible, alongside the Myakka Cutoff which shapes the flow into the harbor. The map preserves the names of numerous coastal points, from Ghost Point to Cattle Dock Point, reflecting the maritime history and shifting shoreline of this river-mouth geography.
