About this map

Cape Coral reveals its intricate residential grid and canal network in this coastal survey, where the expanding suburbs of Lee County meet the complex mangroves and keys of the Florida Gulf Coast. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by a dense web of streets like Caloosa Pkwy and Jacaranda Pkwy, while the western reach transitions into the tidal waters of Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico.

A string of small settlements and keys provide a distinct contrast to the mainland development, including the unique coastal character of Matlacha, Matlacha Isles, and Matlacha Shores. These communities are situated along the narrow Matlacha Pass, serving as gateways to larger landmasses like Pine Island and the protected terrain of Little Pine Island. Navigational features such as the Gator Slough Canal and landmarks like the Pine Island Airport illustrate the infrastructure supporting this maritime landscape.
