1962 Map of Hialeah

About this map

Miami International Airport and the sprawling rail infrastructure of the Seaboard Air Line and Florida East Coast dominate this mid-century Florida landscape. The map captures a period of intense post-war development, where suburban expansion in Hialeah Gardens and Sun Tan Village contrasts with industrial borrow pits and the Miami City Stockade. Along the Tamiami Canal and the Tamiami Trail, the southern portion of the sheet reveals established communities like West Miami and Flagami, densely packed with neighborhood schools including Sylvania Heights Sch and Fairlawn Sch. This 1962 revision highlights the extensive water management system of the Little River Canal and Blue Lagoon during an era when the Palmetto Expressway was reshaping regional connectivity.
