2018 Map of Lorraine

About this map

The Braden River and Ward Lake anchor the central corridor of this Manatee County landscape, illustrating the rapid suburban expansion and institutional development east of Bradenton. This 2018 survey captures the dense residential networks of Lakewood Ranch and the planned communities bordering Sarasota County. Educational hubs are prominent, featuring the Manatee Technical College Main Campus and the Keiser Univ Sarasota Campus near the southern boundary. To the north and east, the transition toward the older settlement of Lorraine and the unincorporated area of Foxleigh is marked by a shift from suburban grids to more expansive drainage features like Wolf Slough and Cypress Strand. The map provides a precise record of the modern road network, including arterial routes like Manatee Ave E and University Pkwy Co Line Rd, which have reshaped the traditional agricultural lands of former areas like Elwood Park.
