About this map

Florida's Turnpike and Atlantic Boulevard anchor this mid-1990s snapshot of Broward County's rapid suburbanization. The landscape is a complex geometry of water and residential planning, featuring numerous developments like Sabal Palms Estates, Rock Island Village, and Jenada Isles. This era shows the extensive network of canals and waterways, including the Middle River and Cypress Creek, that define the region's topography and drainage.

Industrial and civic infrastructure is prominently displayed, from the Fort Lauderdale-Executive Airport and Lockhart Stadium to the Fiveash Waterworks. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial grounds, such as Queen of Heaven Cemetery and Sunset Mem Gardens. The map documents the shifting corporate boundaries between municipalities like Tamarac, Sunrise, and North Lauderdale, illustrating the dense, interconnected growth of the North Fort Lauderdale area.
