1958 Map of Belle Meade NW

About this map

Golden Gate emerges as a distinct planned community amidst the Collier County wetlands in this study updated with 1973 revisions. The purple-tinted urban extensions highlight the rapid growth of the neighborhood, which features a central Golf Course and a geometric street layout that contrasts sharply with the surrounding section lines and swampy terrain. To the south, the major east-west artery of the Everglades Parkway, also known as Alligator Alley, cuts across the landscape. This segment includes a Toll Road designation and a specific Tollgate location, marking the infrastructure necessary to navigate the Florida Everglades during this era. The map also identifies a Trailer Park to the west, while the remainder of the quadrangle is defined by a sparse network of section lines and benchmark elevations like BM 13.
