2012 Map of Alva SW

About this map

Lee Memorial Garden Cem and Lehigh Memorial Park anchor the western and central portions of this residential grid, showing the late 20th-century development of the Florida interior. The map illustrates a dense network of suburban streets such as Lee St and Golfview Blvd that contrast with the open, undeveloped tracts to the south. Modern infrastructure is prominent, including the Able Canal and the northern reaches of the Southwest Florida International Airport. Recreation and leisure are central to the neighborhood's layout, with Lauderhills Golf Course and Las Colinas Golf Course integrated into the residential blocks. The land use pattern here is a classic example of Floridian planned community expansion, where drainage canals and organized street grids converted rural acreage into a sprawling residential landscape.
