1946 Map of Boca Raton
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Boca Raton and the surrounding South Florida coastline appear here shortly after the war, showing a landscape defined by its waterways and early aviation infrastructure. The coastal corridor is anchored by the Intracoastal Waterway, which links Lake Wyman, Lake Boca Raton, and Lake Placid before exiting through the Hillsboro Inlet. The map reveals the critical role of rail transport in the region's development, featuring the dual routes of the Florida East Coast and Seaboard Air Line railroads running parallel to the shore. Internal drainage and land management are visible through the Hillsboro Canal and various levees, while the presence of the Boca Raton Municipal Airport and a second Municipal Airport near Pompano Beach underscores the importance of flight to this growing coastal stretch.
