Ave Maria and the campus of Ave Maria Univ form the planned urban center of this Southwest Florida landscape, surrounded by an expansive grid of drainage canals and agricultural roads. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, featuring themed residential streets like Steinbeck Way, Milano St, and Erasmus Dr branching off the central Ave Maria Blvd. This planned development is situated among low-lying terrain characterized by "islands" of slightly higher ground, such as Big Corkscrew Island and Smallwood Island. To the south, the environment remains less developed, marked by isolated water bodies like Cox Lake and Brown Lake. The infrastructure is defined by long, straight arterial routes including Oil Well Rd, Pacific Grade Rd, and Immokalee Rd, which facilitate transport across the interior of Collier County.
