About this map

Englewood and the unique circular development of Rotonda anchor this coastal Florida landscape, where the land is defined by an intricate network of man-made and natural waterways. To the north, the Myakka State Forest provides a buffer of preserved land, while the coast is shielded by a string of barrier islands including Manasota Key, Peterson Island, and Don Pedro Island. The Intracoastal Waterway threads through Lemon Bay, separating the mainland settlements of Grove City and New Point Comfort from the Gulf beaches.

Transport and recreation are central to the area's layout, seen in the presence of Buchan Airport and the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl that skirts the shoreline. Inland, the suburban expansion of North Port meets the winding paths of Gottfried Creek and Rock Creek. The geography here illustrates the transition from mid-century settlement patterns to modern planned communities, all oriented around the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico.
