1958 Map of Fort Myers SE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The growing outskirts of Fort Myers are captured in this late 1950s survey, showing the northward expansion of residential tracts like Fort Myers Villas and Page Park. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the landscape, dominated by the Page Airport and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad running parallel to the Tenmile drainage. The map provides a look at mid-century community life through labels for the Jr High Sch, a Drive-in Theater, and the Radio Towers (WMYR). Beyond the settled areas, the terrain is defined by a series of Flowing Wells and a straight Canal system, reflecting the ongoing efforts to manage the Florida wetlands for development and agriculture. Local landmarks like the County Home offer specific points of interest for genealogists researching the institutional history of Lee County.
