1958 Map of Fort Myers SW

About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery of this landscape, separating the emerging grid of Cape Coral from the established street layouts of Fort Myers. This edition captures a significant period of suburban expansion in Lee County, where massive canal-front developments are visible alongside older, smaller communities like Iona and Biggar. The transition from rural to residential is evident in the presence of several Flowing Wells and an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these riverine settlements.
