1945 Map of Greenacres City

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western portion of this landscape, illustrating the transition from protected wetlands to the emerging suburban developments of Palm Beach County. Originally surveyed in 1945 with significant 1980 updates, the map documents the expansion of Greenacres City and the introduction of residential enclaves such as Poinciana Place, The Fountains, and Florida Gardens. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by Floridas Turnpike, which bisects the region as a primary transit corridor. Local industry and land alteration are evidenced by the presence of Borrow Pits, while the historic Range Line serves as a reminder of the fundamental surveying grid that organized this part of Florida. The map captures a critical period of growth where agricultural or open land gave way to planned golf course communities and trailer parks.
