Cape Coral and North Fort Myers dominate this detailed modern survey of Lee County's evolving coastal landscape. The map highlights the extensive network of residential canals and managed waterways characteristic of southwest Florida development, including the Gator Slough Canal and the prominent Okeechobee Waterway. The layout of mid-to-late 20th-century residential expansion is visible in the structured grids of Lochmoor Waterway Estates and the planned streets surrounding Palmona Park. Local administrative and community anchors are noted, such as the Lee Government Center and Coral Ridge Gardens Cemetery. Natural drainage patterns still persist alongside the massive canal works, traced through Yellow Fever Creek, Hancock Creek, and the small Blue Cypress Lake. The region's connectivity is defined by major corridors like the N Tamiami Trail and Cleveland Ave, illustrating the transition from natural wetlands to a densely populated maritime suburban environment.
