About this map

Cape Coral and the northern reaches of North Fort Myers are defined by a sophisticated system of residential waterways and arterial parkways in this modern era survey. The landscape is a dense network of suburban development intertwined with drainage and transit infrastructure, including the Gator Slough Canal and Yellow Fever Cr. This intricate grid is particularly evident in the northern sections, where numerous boulevards like Vogiantzis Pky and Palmetto Pines Dr segment the land into residential quads.

The southern portion of the map centers on the confluence of land and water at the Caloosahatchee River, which serves as the Okeechobee Waterway. Along these banks, older landmarks like Prospect Cem stand near newer developments such as Palmona Park. The presence of several branches like Hancock Creek and Manuel Br illustrates the transition from the natural wetlands of the Florida coast to a highly engineered residential environment managed by complex canal systems.
