Punta Gorda and its southern developments meet the intricate wetlands of the Florida coast in this recent survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Charlotte Harbor and the protected lands of the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park Tri. This coastal fringe is a complex network of mangrove keys and tidal passages, including Buchan Pass, Silcox Key, and Redfish Key. Evidence of ancient habitation is preserved at Cockroach Mound, while modern maritime life centers on Burnt Store Marina and the canal-lined community of Pirate Harbor. Inland, the map documents the organized street grids of South Punta Gorda Heights and Tropical Gulf Acres, contrasting the developed residential corridors along Highway 41 with the primitive wetlands surrounding Yucca Pen Creek.
