1958 Map of Wulfert

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Sanibel Island and Captiva Island are separated by the narrow currents of Blind Pass in this late 1950s hydrographic and topographic study. The settlement of Wulfert sits at the northern end of Sanibel, characterized by a complex network of mangrove keys and inlets including Wulfert Channel and the Wulfert Keys. The landscape is defined by its hydrologic features, from the protected waters of Dinken Bayou and Sanibel Bayou to the expansive Gulf of Mexico shoreline. Historical markers of the era include the Old Blind Pass and several locations of a Flowing Well, indicating the island's early reliance on artesian water sources. The map captures the intricate coastal geometry of Buck Key and Runyon Key before the modern development of these barrier islands significantly altered the natural drainage patterns of Hardworking Bayou and Clam Bayou.
