1947 Map of Key Biscayne

About this map

Key Biscayne is the central focus of this mid-century survey, showing the island during a period of transition as the Rickenbacker Causeway newly linked it to mainland Miami. On the island's northern end, the extensive grounds of Crandon Park are established, while the interior is crisscrossed by planned thoroughfares like Airline Road and South Line Road. To the south, the landscape remains dominated by natural features like Swan Pond and The Pines Canal leading toward Cape Florida.
