About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this mid-2010s survey, illustrating the complex relationship between southwestern Florida's residential development and its sprawling waterways. The city of Fort Myers sits at the southern bend, where the Okeechobee Waterway meets the river's wider reach. This landscape is a patchwork of established neighborhoods and natural features, such as Beautiful Island and Buzzard Roost, punctuated by the significant engineering of the Edison Bridge and Wilson Pigott Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Oak Ridge Cem and Hendry Cem, alongside specialized sites like the Strayhorn Ranch Airport. The mapping of the Scl Rr and settlements like Tice, Slater, and Bayshore provides a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting the Lee County coast. From the quiet stretches of Daughtrey Creek to the institutional footprint of Rasmussen College-Fort Myers, the map records a modern city still deeply defined by its subtropical geography.
