2015 Map of Rye

About this map

The Manatee River and the eastern reaches of Lake Manatee anchor this portion of Manatee County, where the landscape transitions from established rural settlements to modern residential developments. The community of Rye sits near the river's bend, while Manhattan and Oak Knoll mark the interior plains to the east. This 2015 survey reveals a complex network of named waterways, including Gamble Cr, Water Hole Cr, and Boggy Cr, which drain the low-lying terrain into the larger river systems. A distinct pattern of newer growth is evident along the western edge, where winding roads like Foxbrook Trl and Prairie Wolf Gln contrast with the long-standing rectangular survey grid of SR-62 and Rutland Rd. Researchers can trace the drainage modifications through features like the Frye Canal and the various branches of Tyre Cr that crisscross the agricultural and wooded tracts of the region.
