2018 Map of Venice

About this map

The Gulf Coast city of Venice is defined by its intricate network of coastal inlets and suburban development. The Intracoastal Waterway carves a straight path through the landscape, separating the mainland from barrier features like Casey Key and Manasota Key. This waterway system, including Dona Bay, Roberts Bay, and Lyons Bay, illustrates the complex hydrologic engineering of the Florida coastline, further evidenced by the Blackburn Canal to the east. Extensive residential planning is visible in neighborhoods such as Venice Gardens and South Venice, where dense street grids meet the natural wandering course of Alligator Creek.
