About this map

Aladdin City and Silver Palm anchor this landscape in south-central Miami-Dade County, representing a grid-dominated transition between agricultural heritage and suburban expansion. The map details a complex network of residential developments and rural pockets, including named locales like Modello and Inlikita. Significant aviation history is evident through the presence of Lindbergh's Landing Airport, Miami Gliderport Landing Strip, and Gouldstein Landing Strip, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to light aircraft and private airfields.

Natural and managed water systems, such as Black Creek Canal Number C-1 and Mowry Canal Number C-103, define the drainage patterns of the low-lying terrain. Cultural and recreational landmarks are scattered throughout, from the University of Miami campus area and Orchid Jungle to the botanical refuge of Bauer Drive Hammock. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like Silver Green Cem and Palm Memorial Cem, along with the historical route of Old Dixie Hwy.
