1958 Map of Fort Myers

About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of Lee County, where the city of Fort Myers expands alongside a complex network of waterways and islands. The map documents a period of significant growth, with neighborhoods like Bayshore Manor and Tice appearing as organized grids against the surrounding wetlands and drainage creeks. Notable inland landmarks include a concentration of educational and social institutions, from Riverside Sch and Dunbar Sch to the Lee Memorial Hospital.
