About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this part of Southwest Florida, widening as it flows past Fort Myers and East Fort Myers. The river is punctuated by prominent landforms such as Beautiful Island, Midway Island, and the notably named Buzzard Roost. Infrastructure in the early 21st century is defined by the heavy presence of I-75 and several key river crossings, including the Edison Bridge and the Wilson Pigott Bridge.

Settlement patterns reveal a mix of established residential neighborhoods like Morse Shores and Bayshore Manor, alongside more rural or industrial features. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the Fort Myers Cem, Hendry Frierson Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem. To the north, the smaller community of Slater sits near the tracks of the SCL RR, while the Strayhorn Ranch Airport occupies the eastern inland area.
