1962 Map of Fort Lauderdale North

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Fort Lauderdale and its northern neighbors undergo a period of rapid suburban expansion in this early 1960s survey, with updates from the 1980s showing the filling in of residential tracts. The landscape is defined by its extensive network of waterways, including the Middle River Canal and the Cypress Creek, which bisect the burgeoning planned communities of Coral Springs, Tamarac, and North Lauderdale. This era captures the transition from open Florida scrub and agricultural land to a dense grid of leisure-oriented developments, as evidenced by the proliferation of golf courses and the Palm Aire Country Club. Local institutional history is anchored by the Florida Military Academy and the Dillard High Sch, while the presence of several large memorial sites like Queen of Heaven Cemetery and Sunset Mem Gardens provides important touchstones for genealogical research in Broward County.
