1958 Map of Fort Myers Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The coastal barrier landscape of Fort Myers Beach is captured during a period of significant expansion, as shown by the extensive 1972 photorevisions in purple that detail new canal developments and subdivisions. Along the shoreline, San Carlos Island and the primary beach ridge are densely populated, while the surrounding aquatic environment remains a complex network of mangrove keys and tidal flats, including the curiously named Hell Peckish Bay and Starvation Key. To the north, the inland area near Truckland shows a transition from agricultural land, marked by numerous Flowing Well labels, to emerging suburban blocks.
