About this map

Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton anchor this coastal landscape during a period of significant growth along the Intracoastal Waterway. The map captures the transition from historic railroad-oriented town centers to sprawling residential developments like Kingsland, Sherwood Park, and Rainbow Homes. Institutional landmarks are well-documented, including Spady Sch, Carver High Sch, and the Pine Ridge Cem.

A network of transit corridors, including the Florida East Coast and Seaboard Coast Line railroads, illustrates the area's development pattern. To the south, the Yamato area and Boca Raton Public Airport highlight mid-century industrial and aviation infrastructure. The shoreline is characterized by luxury waterfront enclaves like Boca Harbour and Bel Marra, alongside public spaces like Atlantic Dunes Park and Spanish River Park, showing the early 1960s balance between private development and public beach access.
