About this map

The Bonita Springs corridor and the surrounding Lee County coast show a landscape defined by complex waterways and rapid modern development. This 2015 survey details the transition from the mangrove-lined islands of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico to the growing residential communities along S Tamiami Trl. Key historical markers are preserved amidst the sprawl, such as the Koreshan Unity Cem near the Estero River, a site connected to the area's unique communal history.

Coastal geography is intricately mapped, featuring Mound Key, Needmore Point, and the Intracoastal Waterway alongside numerous small keys like Monkey Joe Key and Charlie Key. Further inland, the map shows the institutional footprint of Florida Gulf Coast Univ and the emerging suburbs of Miromar Lakes and San Carlos Park. This document serves as a high-resolution record of Southwest Florida’s shoreline and infrastructure before recent cycles of intense tropical storm activity.
