STS51A-045-0118 Fort Myers, Florida, U.S.A. November 1985
This photograph of Fort Myers covers a comparable geographic area as photographs STS069-718-053 and STS070-712-063; however, features are more easily discernible in this photograph's sediment plume from Charlotte Harbor (upper right) into the Gulf of Mexico; gridded street patterns within the urban area; the size and shape of Sanibel and Pine Islands; and bridges that cross the Caloosahatchee River connecting Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, and Cape Coral.
