About this map

Pine Island Center and the surrounding island communities anchor this coastal survey, showing the complex boundary between developed Lee County residential zones and the intricate subtropical wetlands. To the east, the sprawling canal-based layout of Cape Coral pushes against the Matlacha Pass, while the unincorporated community of Matlacha serves as the gateway to the main island. The landscape is defined by its aquatic connectivity, featuring the Okeechobee Waterway and the Phillips Canal cutting through the southern mangroves near Saint James City.

The map reveals a patchwork of keys and points, from Deer Stop Keys in the center of the pass to the remote Galt Island and Big Island further south. Local aviation history is noted at the Woodstock Airport, situated near the residential streets of Flamingo Bay. This survey documents a critical period of infrastructure, where named streets like H Stringfellow Rd provide the primary north-south spine connecting small coastal settlements to the mainland through a labyrinth of bays and creeks.
