1958 Map of Sears

About this map

The Caloosahatchee River defines the northern edge of this Hendry County landscape in the late 1950s, a period marked by the systematic drainage and development of south Florida. Evidence of the region's transitioning infrastructure is visible in the alignment of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad near the small settlement of Sears, contrasted against a long Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the central wetlands. The prevalence of multiple Flowing Wells and a Roberts Canal illustrates the extensive water management efforts required to support local agriculture and industry. Near the City Boundary, the La Belle Airport and scattered Marl Pits indicate a growing regional hub emerging from the surrounding marshes and cypress strands.
