About this map

The sprawling urban and agricultural boundary of Homestead and Florida City is defined here by a geometric grid of roads and an extensive network of drainage canals. The landscape reflects the area's development into a major logistics and transit hub, anchored by the Homestead Air Reserve Base to the northeast and the high-speed racing complex of the Homestead-Miami Speedway to the east. Modern commerce and education are prominent at Prime Outlets at Florida City and Miami Dade Community College.

Beyond the residential sectors, the map illustrates the engineering required for South Florida's geography, featuring the Mowry Canal Number C-103, Florida City Canal, and the Model Land Canal which cut through the low-lying terrain. Significant local landmarks like the Coral Castle stone structure stand alongside industrial and institutional facilities such as the Dade Correctional Institution and the Holley Landing Strip south of the city centers.
