About this map

Fort Myers expands southward across this topographic record, showing the urban transition from residential neighborhoods like Hanson and Fort Myers Villas into the low-lying interior. Central to the local infrastructure is Page Field and the adjacent Page Park, while the transportation corridor of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the layout of industrial and municipal sites such as the County Home.

The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of Flowing Wells, indicating the subterranean hydrology of Lee County before major modern drainage projects significantly altered the water table. Pockets of 1950s and 70s culture are evident in features like the Drive-in Theater and the Radio Towers (WMYR), which served as local landmarks for the growing population in the vicinity of the Jr High Sch.
