2012 Map of Immokalee SW

About this map

Ave Maria and its surrounding landscape reflect the recent planned development of this Collier County interior. The community is anchored by Ave Maria University, with residential streets like Avila Ave and Milano St branching out from the central campus. The map reveals a highly structured environment defined by right-angled drainage and agricultural canals, a stark contrast to the natural depressions of Cox Lake and Brown Lake. Transportation is dictated by historical grid-lines and utility routes, including the long stretches of Oil Well Rd and Pacific Grade Rd. Further east, the terrain transitions into the wetlands of the Big Cypress region, featuring isolated rises like Smallwood Island. This survey captures the town in its early growth phase, showing the intersection of new academic infrastructure with the traditional ranching and citrus landscape along Ranch 1 Rd.
