What's up with this city in Florida?

I was perusing the Florida coastline, looking for a particular place, and I ran by what looked like a crop circle zoomed way out. My curiosity got the best of me, so I zoomed in to this city, and to my surprise it looked like this. I thought it was very intriguing, and was wondering if there was anything interesting in this semi-circle city.

Just thought I'd share.

It looks like an open-faced Florida orange.

Whoa! Is your MS Streets and Trips old?

Mine is 2002 and shows a lot more streets in the area, but fewer parks and golf courses are displayed.

I had my aunt's address in the trip thing, and I didn't want anyone to see where she lives.

Mine is version 11.00.18.1900. I have no idea what year it is, but I think it's 2004. I don't necessarily have the retail CD....

I have S&T 2003, and have the same map as the OP.

Mideval fortress, or a crop circle in concrete.

You've been longhorned!

09.00.16.2001 here.

The name is " Microsoft Streets & Trips 2002"

It's odd that mine shows more streets in the area than yours. MANY more as a matter of fact. WTF is up with that?

Now I;'ve checked two online maps, map quest and MS maps, and BOTH show no development to the south like my map does.

WTF x10??? Did they get rid of all that development???

AH-HA!!

Those streets ARE there. In the sat image, you can see the outlines of them. But they seem to be private drives rather than streets, and are not included in newer maps.

Still, a big WTF???

[aphex]

thats about 20 mins south of where i live, basically ground zero for where hurricane charlie (the first of the 4 from last year) went over...

 

[Krk3561]

Well the city is called Rotonda, I think it fits.

 

[Insomniak]

OH MY GOD IT'S A oh wait I don't care.

Judging by the 2 golf courses included in the city, looks like a place for rich pampered old white people to go and live without any tan people near them.
