1963 Map of Cooper City NE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Everglades Wildlife Management Area and Conservation Area No 2 dominate the western half of this Florida landscape, defined by a massive expanse of water impounded periodically behind a network of engineering works. Levee No 36 and Levee No 35 form a sharp diagonal boundary, separating the wild marshlands from the rapid mid-20th-century suburban expansion of Broward County. To the east, the planned residential grids of Coral Springs, Tamarac, and Sunrise illustrate the transition from undeveloped land to a landscape of winding streets and artificial water bodies. This 1963 survey, updated with 1980s data, captures the moment when the growing communities of Lauderhill and Plantation pushed right against the levee system. Key infrastructure such as Markham Park and the North New River Canal show how the region managed drainage and recreation at the edge of the Everglades.
