1962 Map of Fort Lauderdale South

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Urban expansion and mid-century suburbanization define this 1962 landscape, with 1980s updates showing the rapid growth of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania. The central portion of the map is dominated by the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the complex industrial infrastructure surrounding Port Everglades, including the Dania Cut-Off Canal and numerous substations. This period captures a transition in South Florida’s development, where early 20th-century agriculture and drainage projects made way for dense residential enclaves like Plantation Isles, Hacienda Village, and Driftwood Acres.
