1963 Map of Cooper City SW

About this map

South New River Canal cuts a sharp horizontal line across this 1963 landscape, marking a period of significant hydrological engineering in the Florida Everglades. The Western half of the region is dominated by vast impoundment zones, specifically Conservation Area No 3A and Conservation Area No 3, where water is managed behind an extensive system of embankments including Levee No 37 and Levee No 33. These structures illustrate the mid-century effort to reclaim and protect land for expansion. To the east, the transition toward development is evident in the straight-line paths of Griffin Road, Orange Drive, and Hollywood Boulevard. The presence of a Quarry in the southeast corner suggests the active extraction of limestone and fill materials required for the burgeoning road networks and residential foundations of Broward County during this era of rapid growth.
