About this map

The South Fork New River and Dania Cut-Off Canal anchor this detailed coastal landscape, which showcases the dense suburban and industrial evolution of South Florida in the early 21st century. The map highlights the significant infrastructure of Port Everglades and the massive footprint of the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, reflecting the region's role as a major transit hub. Diverse residential developments like Hacienda Village, Melrose Park, and Plantation Isles are tightly woven between a complex system of waterways, including Silver Lake and the North New River Canal.

Educational and institutional landmarks are prominent, from Nova University and Florida Atlantic University at Davie to specialized sites like the University of Florida Field Laboratory. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds clearly marked, such as Evergreen Cem near the Tarpon River and Hollywood Memorial Gardens. The transit network is dominated by the Florida East Coast RR and the intersection of I-95 and I-595, illustrating the high-density corridor connecting these coastal communities.
