2021 Map of Alva

About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this Lee and Hendry County landscape, facilitating both recreation and regional drainage. Along its banks, the historic settlement of Alva sits across from Charleston Park, while further east, the community of Fort Denaud marks a historic crossing point near the Fort Denaud Bridge. The map reveals a complex water management system defined by straight-line cuts like the Townsend Canal, King Canal, and Hickey Creek Canal, which contrast with the natural winding paths of Spanish Cr and Bedman Cr. Local aviation is represented by Alma Airport and William's Sky Manor Airport. For genealogists, the Old Lake Place Cem provides a specific point of interest near the river's bend, while the Okeechobee Waterway Canoe Trl highlights the modern transition of these historic waters into a recreational corridor.
