1958 Map of Fort Myers Beach

About this map

Fort Myers Beach sits along a narrow barrier island in the late 1950s, serving as a gateway between the open Gulf of Mexico and the intricate labyrinth of the Florida coastline. This survey reveals a landscape of transition, where the established settlement at Matanzas Pass meets a vast network of mangrove keys and tidal waters. To the north, the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the small inland community of Truckland reflect the early infrastructure that once connected this coastal reach to the mainland.
