1962 Map of Hialeah

About this map

The expanding suburbs of Hialeah and Miami Springs dominate this mid-century portrait of Dade County, showing a landscape of rapid residential growth and heavy infrastructure. The iconic Hialeah Park and its Lake Flamingo sit at the heart of the developed grid, while the massive Miami International Airport and Amelia Earhart Field define the aviation footprint of the era. To the west, the Medley corporate boundary meets a series of borrow pits and the Everglades fringe, illustrating the literal carving of development out of the Florida wetlands.
