About this map

Florida Atlantic University and the Boca Raton Airport dominate the northwestern landscape of this coastal survey, reflecting the significant institutional and infrastructure development in this part of Broward and Palm Beach counties. The map captures a densely settled suburban corridor characterized by a complex network of neighborhoods such as Floresta, Royal Oak Hills, and North Pompano Beach. This residential growth is bound by the Florida East Coast Railway and a series of vital waterways, including the Hillsboro Canal and the Hillsboro River.

Maritime and recreational features define the shoreline, from the Boca Raton Inlet to the Hillsboro Inlet Light. Significant local landmarks like the Boca Raton Town Hall and the Fifth Avenue Shoppes sit alongside numerous fire stations and public utility facilities. The area’s memorial history is preserved at the Boca Raton Cem and Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, providing essential locations for genealogical research within this modern urban fabric.
