1988 Map of Homestead

About this map

The sprawling grid of Homestead and Florida City meets the intensive canal-and-levee systems of the southern Florida landscape in this late 1980s record. The map documents a period of significant military and institutional presence, anchored by the massive Homestead Air Force Base in the northeast and two separate U S Naval Reservation tracts to the south. The residential expansion of Leisure City and Modello is balanced by the industrial character of the Quarry sites and the Dade Correctional Institution on the southwestern edge.
