1957 Map of Gilchrist

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Cecil M Webb State Wildlife Management Area dominates the eastern half of this landscape, characterized by numerous small ponds and wetland features typical of southwest Florida. Settlement patterns show the growth of South Punta Gorda Heights and Tropical Gulf Acres in the northwest, while the small stop of Gilchrist lies further south near the boundary of the Charlotte Co Lee Co line. Transportation is anchored by the Seaboard System railroad and the highway running parallel to it, cutting a straight diagonal across the terrain. Hydrological details include the winding course of the South Prong Alligator Cr and a specific landmark noted as Flowing Well. This survey captures the transition of the region as residential developments began to encroach on the vast managed wetlands and timbered tracts of Charlotte County.
