About this map

The mangrove shorelines and intricate tidal creeks of Estero Bay characterize this coastal landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads behind protective islands like Big Hickory Island and Long Key. The map details the transition from the Gulf's labyrinthine waters to the inland development of Bonita Springs and Estero, showcasing a complex network of recreational and historical routes including the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl and the Great Calusa Blueway Trail Phase I Trl.

Genealogical and cultural interest is centered around the Koreshan Unity Cem and the nearby Koreshan State Historical Park Cem, preserving the site of a unique communal settlement. Further north, the suburban expansion of San Carlos Park and Three Oaks surrounds the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University. The map also identifies culturally significant terrain like Mound Key and small landmarks like Needmore Point.
