1957 Map of Punta Gorda SW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Indian Mound, Cash Mound, and John Quiet Mound stand as significant cultural landmarks along the intricate coastline of this mid-century Florida survey. The map details the complex estuarine environment where Gasparilla Sound, Turtle Bay, and Bull Bay converge, separated by a labyrinth of mangrove-lined keys and tidal channels. This 1957 topography captures the shoreline just as development began to touch the area, recording the Indefinite Boundary between Charlotte and Lee counties through the marsh. Distinctive water features like Boggess Hole and the inland Forty Acre Pond punctuate the landscape, while navigable passages such as The Cutoff and Whidden Creek illustrate the historical water routes used before extensive modern dredging altered the region’s natural hydrology.
