1958 Map of Wulfert

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Sanibel Island and Captiva Island dominate this coastal survey, which highlights the transition of the northern island landscape before significant development changed the Gulf coast. At the heart of the region, the J N (Ding) Darling National Wildlife Refuge preserves a network of waterways including Dinken Bayou and Halloway Bayou. The small settlement of Wulfert is situated near the Wulfert Channel, reflecting the maritime orientation of early residents. The movement of the shoreline is evident at Blind Pass and Old Blind Pass, where shifting sands frequently altered the connection between the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound. This edition includes purple revisions from 1972, showing emerging residential patterns and roads appearing among the mangroves and keys.
