1957 Map of Tuckers Corner

About this map

The remote South Florida wetlands of the late 1950s are meticulously documented in this survey, defined by a complex network of seasonal ponds and marshland. The settlement at Tuckers Corner serves as the primary landmark in this otherwise sparse interior landscape, which is divided by the prominent boundary between Charlotte Co and Lee Co. This division highlights the regional administrative lines during a period before significant residential expansion into these interior reaches. Transport is dominated by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, which cuts through the southwestern corner of the terrain. The map captures a transition in the Florida landscape where traditional rail-dependent infrastructure met the early stages of mid-century development, preserving the exact locations of local property lines and natural water features before modern drainage and road systems altered the local hydrology.
