1945 Map of Greenacres City

About this map

Greenacres City stands at the northeastern edge of this mid-century Florida survey, representing a period of significant drainage and land management in Palm Beach County. The landscape is defined by an extensive grid of irrigation canals and a prominent levee system, illustrating the engineered transformation of former wetlands into habitable and agricultural land. A major transit artery, Floridas Turnpike (Toll Road), bisects the quadrangle, featuring the Lake Worth Interchange. This infrastructure facilitated the rapid post-war expansion of the region. Local industrial activity is evidenced by several borrow pits near the highway, while the north-south Range Line provides a foundational surveying reference for property and municipal development during this era of growth.
