1957 Map of Punta Gorda SW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mound Key, Indian Mound, and Cash Mound define the archaeological and topographical character of this mid-century coastal survey along the Charlotte and Lee county line. The landscape is a complex network of mangrove keys and tidal waters where Gasparilla Sound meets Bull Bay. Several inland water bodies, such as Forty Acre Pond and the marshy reaches of Catfish Creek, illustrate the low-lying, undeveloped nature of the Florida Gulf Coast before the era of intensive residential canal dredging. Significant maritime features include the passage at Roberts Gap and the shallow expanse of Cape Haze Bay. The map also records the location of John Quiet Mound and Eagle Nest, providing a detailed view of the natural and cultural landforms that existed prior to widespread modern development in the region.
