1988 Map of Goulds

About this map

Homestead A F Base and the expansive Metrozoo grounds anchor this portrait of southern Dade County, reflecting a landscape defined by institutional presence and leisure attractions. The residential and agricultural fabric of Goulds, Princeton, and Naranja follows the corridor of the Seaboard System railroad and the South Dixie Highway, showing the region's historical reliance on these transport arteries. Local history is deeply embedded in the layout of sites like Aladdin City, the Gold Coast R R Museum, and Monkey Jungle. Smaller landmarks such as the Lindbergh Landing Strip and the Metropolitan Correctional Center contrast with the community focus of Redland Ch and the numerous schools, including South Dade High Sch and Mays Jr High Sch. The map reveals a transition from suburban development to the hammocks and groves of the Fruit and Spice Park.
