About this map

Marco Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, showcasing the intricate network of canals and developed shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. The transition from the dense residential grid of Marco and Marco Beach to the sprawling tidal environments of the Ten Thousand Islands is starkly visible. To the southeast, the small settlement of Goodland remains isolated among the mangroves, connected by the Big Marco River.

The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, with features like Clam Factory Shoal, Railroad Shoals, and Pink Curlew Flats indicating a rich maritime history and delicate ecosystem. From the Marco Island Airport down to the southern tips of Kice Island and Currys Island, the map captures the modern footprint of tourism and residence alongside traditional names like Georgia Fruit Farm Creek and Whiskey Creek, which hint at the earlier agricultural and pioneer-era uses of these barrier islands.
