About this map

Pirate Harbor and Burnt Store Marina anchor the coastal development on this 2018 survey, which documents the residential growth south of Punta Gorda. The map traces a intricate network of canals and suburban streets, including South Punta Gorda Heights and Tropical Gulf Acres, where the land meets the shallow estuarine environment of Charlotte Harbor. Moving south toward the Cape Coral city limits, the landscape transitions from planned neighborhoods to the salt marshes and mangrove-lined creeks of the Gulf of Mexico.

Local historians and genealogists can identify several named keys and islands, such as Redfish Key, Silcox Key, and Cormorant Key, alongside the prominent Cockroach Mound. The drainage patterns are clearly defined through Whidden Branch, Bear Br, and Yucca Pen Cr, illustrating how the coastal geography has been managed for coastal residency and marine access during this era of late 2010s expansion.
