About this map

Sanibel and the southern edge of Captiva occupy this coastal barrier landscape, where the shifting inlets and bays define the modern topography. The settlement of Wulfert sits near the northern end of Sanibel, buffered from Pine Island Sound by a complex of mangrove islands including Buck Key, Runyan Key, and the Wulfert Keys. This map documents a high degree of modern residential development and recreational infrastructure, with intricate road networks such as Sanibel-Captiva Rd and Wildlife Dr winding through the interior wetlands.

The hydrological character of the area is defined by tidal exchanges like Blind Pass, separating Sanibel and Captiva. Navigation and recreation are central to the landscape, from the Intracoastal Waterway in the north to the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl that skirts the sound. Named features like Hardworking Bayou and Kesson Bayou suggest a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and deliberate shoreline management. Notable landmarks such as Sanibel Rocks and Long Point anchor the coastline against the Gulf of America.
