1995 Map of Hialeah SW

About this map

Sweetwater anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, marking the edge of suburban expansion against the vast water management systems of South Florida. The map illustrates a sharp transition where residential blocks and institutions like the Florida International University (Tamiami Campus) and Belen Jesuit Sch meet the engineered wetlands of the East Coast Buffer. To the west, the Everglades and Francis S Taylor State Wildlife Management Area dominates the terrain, bisected by the iconic Tamiami Trail and the Tamiami Canal. Notable landmarks include the South Florida Reception Center (State Prison) and the Trail Glades Range, reflecting the varied land uses at the city's fringe. Large-scale infrastructure such as Floridas Turnpike and numerous quarries highlight the industrial and transportation arteries feeding the metropolitan area's growth during the mid-1990s.
