About this map

North Port and the surrounding Sarasota County landscape are defined by an intricate network of waterways and modern residential development in this mid-2010s survey. The Myakka River winds through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Deer Prairie Creek and Big Slough. This period shows significant suburban expansion, particularly in the planned communities of Plantation and Warm Mineral Springs.

Infrastructure like the Venice Golf Club Dr and the intersection of local routes near Tarpon Point illustrate the area's transition from wetlands to a primary residential corridor. Significant natural features, including the Deer Prairie Slough and Curry Creek, remain prominent, offering a detailed look at the hydrologic layout before further intensification of the coastal plain. The map also records the boundary line shared between Sarasota Co and Charlotte Co in the southeast corner.
