About this map

The Caloosahatchee River serves as the central artery for this region of Lee County, dividing the developed residential tracts of Fort Myers Shores from the preserved lands of the Caloosahatchee Regional Park. To the south, the landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the Able Canal, W Baker Canal, and George Canal, which frame the residential grids of Buckingham.

Evidence of the area's aviation and maritime history is clear through features like Buckingham Field and the riverside settlements of Olga and Alva. The northern portion of the map transitions into a more hydrologically complex environment, where the Telegraph Swamp and Hickey Creek Swamp dominate the terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Buckingham Cemetery and the established neighborhood of Telegraph Estates as useful points of reference for tracing the growth of these inland Florida communities.
