About this map

Peace River and Shell Creek dominate this 1956 landscape, showing a transition from coastal wetlands to developing residential tracts near Cleveland. The area is marked by a complex network of waterways, including Whidden Bay and Hunter Cr, which weave through terrain punctuated by Shell Point and Long Island. This survey, updated with 1980s data, reveals the growth of settlements like Harbour Heights, Sans Souci, and Tee and Green Estates alongside established features such as the Cleveland Cem.

To the east and south, the landscape shifts toward conservation and early infrastructure. The Cecil M Webb State Wildlife Management Area occupies a significant portion of the sheet, characterized by numerous marshes and the winding Myrtle Slough. Historical transport routes are visible through an Old Railroad Grade, while industrial and utility footprints appear at the Borrow Pit, Substation, and the local County Airport. Numerous flowing wells scattered throughout the territory indicate the importance of groundwater management in this part of Charlotte County.
