2012 Map of Sarasota

About this map

Sarasota Bay dominates this coastal survey, where a complex network of keys and inlets protects the mainland shoreline. The urban center of Sarasota is anchored by Main St and Ringling Blvd, with the Ringling Bridge providing a vital connection to Bird Key and the upscale developments of Saint Armands. The geography here is defined by water, from the narrow passage of New Pass to the broad reach of Big Sarasota Pass, which separates Lido Key from the northern tip of Siesta Key. Along the mainland, residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Indian Beach and near Sarasota Memorial Park. The map also captures maritime infrastructure including Payne Terminal and the Tony Saprito Fishing Pier North Light, illustrating the city's deep integration with the Gulf of Mexico.
