2018 Map of Myakka River

About this map

North Port and the surrounding Sarasota County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and residential growth in this 2018 survey. The Myakka River winds through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Deer Prairie Creek and Big Slough. Significant development is visible in the eastern half of the map, particularly around Warm Mineral Springs, where the street grid fans out across the flat coastal plain. In contrast, the northwestern portion near Curry Creek and Deer Prairie Slough shows a more dispersed pattern of roads such as Border Rd and Forbes Trl. The map documents the meeting of natural drainage systems and modern municipal planning, showing how residential areas like Plantation and Tarpon Point integrate with the region's characteristic wetlands and creek beds.
