2018 Map of Punta Gorda

About this map

The Peace River dominates this coastal landscape as it flows into Charlotte Harbor, separating the growing residential developments of Port Charlotte from the historic street grid of Punta Gorda. The transition from the mid-twentieth-century canal systems of Punta Gorda Isles and Morningstar Canal to the older settlements like Solana and Acline illustrates the evolution of southwest Florida's waterfront infrastructure. Along the southern bank, the Tamiami Trl serves as the primary artery, crossing the water via the Gilchrist Bridge and Barron Collier Bridge. The map details a complex network of waterways, from the N Fork Alligator Cr to the mangrove-lined shores near Mangrove Point, reflecting the region's deep connection to the Gulf of Mexico.
