1958 Map of Wulfert

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Captiva Island and Sanibel Island meet at the narrow inlet of Blind Pass in this topographic study, which captures the complex coastal morphology of Lee County prior to significant modern development. The map details the western edge of Sanibel Island, centered on the small settlement of Wulfert and the extensive acreage of the J. N. (Ding) Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of mangrove-lined waterways, including Dinken Bayou, Hardworking Bayou, and Kesson Bayou. Hydrographic data from 1956 and aerial photography from 1972 provide a layered view of the shifting shoreline, showing the relationship between Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. Notable features such as Old Blind Pass and Silver Key Bayou illustrate the natural evolution of these barrier islands.
