1963 Map of Fort Lauderdale 2 SE

About this map

Coral Springs and Parkland anchor the southeastern portion of this map, showcasing the dramatic intersection of South Florida's urban expansion and its preserved wetlands. The 1983 revisions, indicated in purple, reveal the rapid suburbanization of what was recently agricultural land, with housing developments and a Golf Course pushing right against the massive water management infrastructure. This edge is defined by Levee No 36, a stark vertical boundary that separates the residential grid from the Everglades Wildlife Management Area. To the north, the Hillsboro Canal serves as a critical artery, flanked by the Hillsboro Canal Road and marking the southern limit of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of Conservation Area No 1 and Conservation Area No 2, where water is impounded periodically to manage the region's delicate environment.
