1958 Map of Estero

About this map

Estero Bay and its intricate network of mangrove islands and tidal creeks define this coastal Florida landscape during the late twentieth century. The map highlights the unique legacy of the Koreshan Unity settlement, specifically noting the Koreshan State Park and the Koreshan Unity Cem along the Estero River. In this era, the inland area shows residential growth around the community of San Carlos Park, which is dotted with water bodies like Lily Lake and Spruce Lake.
