1958 Map of Alva SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lehigh Acres serves as the primary focal point of this coastal Florida interior, shown during a period of rapid mid-century expansion into the surrounding wetlands. The map illustrates the structured street grids emerging from the natural landscape, marked by a systematic network of drainage projects including a prominent Canal and several instances of a Flowing Well. While the northeastern corner is defined by residential plotting, much of the quadrangle remains dominated by the flat, marshy terrain characteristic of Lee County, punctuated by Halfway Pond and scattered Quarries. Industrial activity is evident near the growing settlement, with a Gravel Pit and extraction sites located along the northern boundaries, reflecting the material needs of the local development boom that transformed this region in the 1950s and 1970s.
