About this map

Longboat Key occupies a narrow sliver of land in the northeastern corner of this coastal survey, where the barrier island meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This map primarily illustrates the maritime expanse off the Florida coast, with the land area limited to the northern reach of the key. Local geography is defined by Cranes Bayou, a sheltered water body tucked behind the primary Gulf-facing shoreline. The infrastructure of the late 2010s is represented by State Road 789, which serves as the primary corridor for the residential and resort developments along the island. This survey captures the precise relationship between the developed shoreline and the surrounding hydrography, providing a record of the island's footprint and the coastal boundary of t36s r17e before recent tidal shifts.
