1958 Map of Naples South

About this map

Naples is captured here during a pivotal moment of mid-century coastal development, showing the early transformation of the Florida shoreline. The map documents the intricate finger canals and waterfront dredging along Naples Bay, signaling the transition from a small coastal outpost to an engineered resort destination. South of the city, the landscape remains dominated by the complex tidal environment of Gordon Pass and the mangrove-lined waters of Dollar Bay.
