1958 Map of Captiva

About this map

Captiva Island and the surrounding Lee County keys are depicted here following a period of coastal survey updates in the early 1970s. The settlement of Captiva serves as the focal point of the southern island, featuring landmarks such as the Chapel by the Sea and a localized Flowing Well. The map highlights the intricate relationship between the land and sea, tracing the narrow passage of Redfish Pass and the protected waters of Chadwick Bayou and Roosevelt Channel behind Buck Key.
