About this map

The El Jobean settlement occupies a strategic bend where the Myakka River opens into the broad expanse of Charlotte Harbor. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex coastal landscape defined by intricate residential developments and tidal waterways. To the west, the circular planning of the Rotunda River area contrasts with the more traditional grid of El Jobean, while the eastern shoreline remains dominated by natural features like Tippecanoe Bay and Muddy Cove.

Navigational landmarks and historical coastal activity are evident in labels such as Cattle Dock Point, Ghost Point, and Point Lonesom. The intricate network of human-made canals, including the Sioux Waterway and Butterford Waterway, demonstrates how the mid-century Florida land boom reshaped the low-lying terrain. South of the Myakka Cutoff, the map transitions into the open waters of the harbor, passing Hog Island and the McCall Sand Flats before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.
