1957 Map of Tuckers Corner

About this map

The C M Webb Wildlife Management Area dominates this mid-century landscape in southwest Florida, preserving a complex network of wetlands and pine flatwoods. Originally mapped in the late 1950s, the sheet reveals a sparsely settled interior where hydrology dictated the early footprint of human activity. The boundary between Charlotte Co and Lee Co cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the transition between these two coastal counties before modern suburban development pushed inland. Small nodes of activity like Tuckers Corner and Hickman are identified, along with a Fish Hatchery and the path of the Csx railroad. Updated purple revisions from the 1980s highlight changing land use, specifically indicating where woodland cover and strip mine areas have evolved since the original topographic surveys.
