About this map

Venice and its surrounding coastal communities are detailed in this survey reflecting the region's mid-century development and nautical character. The shoreline is defined by barrier islands such as Casey Key and Manasota Key, separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway and a series of bays including Lyons Bay, Dona Bay, and Roberts Bay. The 1987 revision highlights significant urban expansion into areas like South Venice and Venice Gardens as the local infrastructure evolved to accommodate a growing population.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the Municipal Airport and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad corridor. Notable local landmarks for genealogists and historians include St Marks Ch, the Loveland Sch, and Gulf Pines Memorial Park (Cemetery). The complex hydrology of the area is further evidenced by the Blackburn Canal and numerous creeks such as Curry Creek and Alligator Creek that drain into the Gulf.
