About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this region of Lee County, dividing the developed residential grids of Fort Myers Shores and Olga from the more rural landscapes to the south. Historically significant sites such as Buckingham Field and the Buckingham Cem anchor the community of Buckingham, reflecting a landscape defined by mid-century aviation history and long-standing local settlements.

An intricate network of water management features, including the Able Canal, Lehigh Canal, and W Baker Canal, crisscrosses the southern half of the map, illustrating the transformation of the Florida wetlands into a managed suburban and agricultural environment. Tributaries like Telegraph Cr and Hickey Cr feed into the main river, while primary thoroughfares like Palm Beach Blvd and Buckingham Rd provide the essential transportation links connecting these riverside communities.
