About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway and the Hillsboro River define the coastal geometry of southeast Florida during a period of rapid suburban expansion. Following the 1960s, a purple tint on this sheet highlights the growth of residential developments like Floresta Estates, Paradise Palms, and Shorewood. This era of development is etched into the landscape through the emergence of neighborhood clusters around golf courses and the Royal Palm Country Club, while maintaining older corridors like the Florida East Coast and Seaboard Coast Line railroads.
