1945 Map of Greenacres City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Greenacres City stands at the northeastern edge of this mid-century landscape, appearing as a developing grid during a period of significant drainage and infrastructure expansion in Palm Beach County. The interior is defined by a rigorous network of water control, with numerous instances of a Levee partitioning the land into large rectangular tracts. This system of management reflects the mid-1940s effort to reclaim and organize the Florida interior for agricultural or residential use. The Sunshine State Parkway cuts a straight north-south path through the center, serving as a primary transportation artery alongside the prominent Range Line. Evidence of local industry and construction is visible through several Borrow Pits and a singular Borrow Pit, which provided material for the growing road network and levee system. A notable site labeled Convict suggests the presence of labor camps or related facilities during this era of intensive public works.
