About this map

Homestead and the surrounding agricultural and residential developments of southern Miami-Dade County appear in detail as they were following the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the strict geometry of the Homestead Corporate Boundary and the extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the North Canal, Florida City Canal, and Mowry Canal No C103. These waterways allowed for the expansion of settlements like Leisure City and Modello alongside more established sites like Florida City.

Major institutional footprints dominate the eastern and southern portions of the map, most notably the Homestead Air Force Base and the U S Naval Reservation. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents numerous community landmarks, from St Andrews Ch and the Lewis Sch to the Dade Correctional Institution. The transportation corridor of the Floridas Turnpike and Old Dixie Highway underscores the region's role as a gateway to the south.
