1958 Map of Fort Myers SE

About this map

Fort Myers Villas and Page Park mark the suburban expansion south of the city core during the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of aviation and drainage infrastructure, with the historic Page Field situated near the County Home while the more modern Southwest Florida Regional Airport occupies the southeastern reaches. Extensive hydrological engineering is visible through the Tenmile Canal and numerous Flowing Wells that punctuate the coastal lowlands. Cultural and recreational sites of the era include the Drive-in Theater near Lakes Co Pk and the Jr High Sch serving the northern residential districts. The Csx rail line provides a transit spine for the region, cutting through a mix of established neighborhoods and undeveloped green spaces like Nalle Grade Co Park.
