2012 Map of Gilchrist

About this map

South Punta Gorda Heights and Tropical Gulf Acres anchor the developed northwest corner of this Southwest Florida landscape, showcasing an intricate network of residential streets with citrus-themed names like Grapefruit Ln, Lime Dr, and Mango Dr. This residential layout contrasts sharply with the expansive wetlands and water management features to the east, where the S Prong Alligator Cr flows toward the coast. The transport corridor is dominated by the diagonal sweep of Interstate 75 and US Route 41, which pass near the Punta Gorda Tower. To the south, the settlements of Lakeville and Gilchrist sit along the Lee County line, while large-scale drainage patterns and undeveloped platted lots reflect the region's late 20th-century suburban design and environmental management strategies.
