With a smaller-scale inset map of the island placing the development in geographic context relative to the entire island. Surveyor's written location description states: <div class="indenttextblock"> "Being a subdivision of Government lots 6-7-8 and that portion of lot 2 and the west 618.2 ft. of lot 1 that lies between the Gulf of Mexico and a bayou which is parallel with about 1800 feet from the meanders of the Gulf of Mexico, Section 30 T. 46 SR 23 E." </div> <BR/> Today, Sanibel Shores would occupy a space roughly bounded to the south by the Gulf of Mexico; to the east by Nerita Street; to the north by Junonia Street, and to the west by Old Middle Gulf Drive. That area encompasses what has become the Sanibel Island Golf Club and a large portion of Beachview Country Club Estates. Major feeder road was Donax Street. <br></br> Frank P Bailey & C.R. Bailey Owners and Developers. Map based on survey by J.A. Davison & Son, Engineers, Fort Meyers, Florida Dec. 1924. Del. (drawn by) A.P. Vaughn. <br></br> Reybold & Gates Exclusive Sales Agents, Fort Meyers, Florida. <br></br> The old cadastral map is from the estate of the Mitchell C. Lilley family. The Lilley family owned an Gulf-front lot in this Sanibel Island subdivision, an un-numbered double-sized lot which is marked "Exception" on map. The Baileys are one of Sanibel's most notable families who arrived on the Island in the Mid-1890's. Frank and Ernest Bailey began farming on the Island and started the Sanibel Packing House in 1899 which became the Bailey General Store. <br></br> Scale 200 ft. to an inch.
