About this map

Sanibel Island sits at the convergence of the Gulf of Mexico, Pine Island Sound, and San Carlos Bay in this 2012 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline, where features like Shallow Mouth and Shallow Cutoff illustrate the tidal dynamics of the Florida coast. At the eastern tip, Point Ybel serves as a critical navigation landmark, home to the Sanibel Island Lighthouse.

Further inland, the map details the established road network of the island, including Sanibel Captiva Rd and Periwinkle Way, which connect residential areas such as Dixie Beach to conservation-minded routes like Wildlife Dr. Notable local history markers include the Sanibel Cem near Algiers Ln and several points along the southern shore including Knapps Point. The presence of Tarpon Bay and various keys, such as Sister Keys and Picnic Island, highlights the complex wetland and estuarine environment surrounding the primary island settlement.
