About this map

Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood anchor this dense urban corridor as it appeared in the early 21st century, revealing the intricate water management system that defines South Florida. The landscape is dominated by arterial waterways like the North New River Canal, South New River Canal, and Dania Cut-Off Canal, which serve as the skeleton for numerous residential developments including Plantation Isles, Chula Vista Isles, and Rio Vista Isles.

Educational and civic landmarks are prominent, notably the Broward Community College Central Campus and Nova Southeastern University in Davie. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens North and Evergreen Cem. The transition from the established neighborhoods of Dania Beach to the industrial character of Port Laudania illustrates the regional dependence on both coastal access and the internal canal network. The grid-like expansion of Pembroke Pines and Cooper City to the southwest highlights the modern residential growth patterns of Broward County.
