2018 Map of Gilchrist

About this map

South Punta Gorda Heights and Tropical Gulf Acres mark the northwestern corner of this Florida landscape, where residential street grids begin to reach into the low-lying terrain near the Charlotte Co Lee Co boundary. The area is defined by its transition from suburban development to open, water-dotted lands, with the prominent Tamiami Trl and Interstate 75 cutting a diagonal path southeast toward Gilchrist. This 2018 survey reveals a network of planned but sparsely settled corridors, including Orange Blossom Blvd and Valparaiso Blvd, which navigate a mosaic of wetlands and small water bodies like Spring Lake and Powerline Lake. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the northern reaches of Cape Coral, showing the continued expansion of drainage and infrastructure through the pine and palmetto flats characteristic of the region.
