1973 Map of Hialeah SW

About this map

The Everglades Wildlife Management Area dominates the western half of this landscape, showing a stark contrast between untamed wetlands and the encroaching development of Miami-Dade County in the early 1970s. Along the southern edge, the historic Tamiami Trail and the parallel Tamiami Canal serve as the primary conduits for travel and water management. To the east, the map documents a period of rapid institutional and residential growth, featuring the early campus of Florida International University and the established community of Sweetwater.
