2021 Map of Sarasota OE W

About this map

Longboat Key defines the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the barrier island meets the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. The map details a thin strip of land along the Florida coast, focused on the northern reaches of the key. Local navigation and property boundaries are marked by the presence of Cranes Bayou, a small inlet providing sheltered water on the bayside of the island. The primary terrestrial thoroughfare, Gulf of Mexico Dr, runs parallel to the shoreline, serving as the spine for development in this part of Sarasota County. This document captures the modern layout of the key's narrow topography just as it transitions into the open gulf waters.
