2025 Map of Placida

About this map

Rotonda stands as a prominent planned community characterized by its distinctive circular road system, including Rotonda Cir and Boundary Blvd, north of the Rotonda River. This coastal landscape is defined by the complex interface of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf islands. The map details the transition from mainland developments like Placida and the Coral Creek Airport to the barrier islands of Don Pedro Island, Little Gasparilla Island, and Gasparilla Island. These landforms are separated by tidal features such as Bocilla Inlet and Gasparilla Pass. Conservation areas are well-established, with the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park and Amberjack Environmental Park protecting the mangrove shorelines of Lemon Bay and Placida Harbor. Recreation and transit are central to the area, evidenced by the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl and the Cape Haze Pioneer Trl, which trace the path of former rail or transport corridors through the maritime environment.
