About this map

Wulfert and the northwest reaches of Sanibel are the focal points of this coastal survey, where the intricate network of barrier islands meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by its complex tidal hydrology, featuring numerous protected waters like Halloway Bayou, Dinken Bayou, and the winding Wulfert Channel. These shallow basins and mangrove-lined keys, including Buck Key and Runyan Key, illustrate the transition from the open gulf to the sheltered Pine Island Sound.

Infrastructure is concentrated along the barrier spine, with Sanibel-Captiva Rd providing the primary corridor through the dense residential and conservation areas. The map shows the coastal geography as it existed in 2015, highlighting the importance of the Intracoastal Waterway and the various inlets, such as Coral Creek Inlet, that facilitate maritime navigation through this fragile archipelago.
