About this map

Fort Lauderdale and its southern suburbs are defined by a complex network of waterways and industrial corridors as they appeared in 2015. The landscape is dominated by major infrastructure, including the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and the massive maritime hub at Port Everglades. These transportation centers are integrated into a grid of residential developments like Hacienda Village and Melrose Park, separated by the North New River Canal and the South Fork New River. The presence of institutions such as Nova Southeastern Univ and Broward Coll shows the transition from earlier agriculture toward a modern service and educational economy.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Evergreen Cem in the north to the extensive Hollywood Memorial Gardens and Woodlawn Cem further south. The map documents the residential expansion of communities like Davie, Dania Beach, and Hollywood, showing how the original canal systems, such as the Dania Cut-Off Canal, continue to shape the layout of these coastal Florida cities.
