1958 Map of Fort Myers NW

About this map

North Fort Myers and the northern reaches of Fort Myers are the primary focus of this late-1950s survey, detailing the early suburban sprawl and industrial footprint along the Caloosahatchee River. The map documents a landscape heavily influenced by water management, featuring an extensive network of Flowing Wells and the Gator Slough Canal that drain the inland flats. Within the town sections, local civic life is visible through landmarks like the English Sch and the Edison Park Sch, while the presence of a State Prison Camp and a Drive-in Theater reflect the diverse land use of the era.
