2012 Map of Port Boca Grande

About this map

Boca Grande and Port Boca Grande occupy the narrow southern tip of Gasparilla Island, serving as critical landmarks where Charlotte Harbor meets the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal survey documents the maritime infrastructure essential to the region, most notably the Boca Grande Light and the Port Boca Grande Light, which guide vessels through the deep waters of the Boca Grande Channel. The map illustrates the specialized local geography of the barrier island system, including the shifting sands of Johnson Shoals and the prominent landmark of Murdock Point. Further south, the LaCosta Test Pile South Light marks the approach to Cayo Costa. For researchers, the street-level detail of the village is preserved through thorough labeling of residential and commercial corridors such as Airport Blvd, Gulf Blvd, and Boca Bay Dr, reflecting the area's development as a premier coastal destination in the early 21st century.
