1945 Map of Lake Worth

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Lake Worth and the surrounding coastal communities are captured here in a period of significant mid-century transition. Two major rail corridors, the Florida East Coast and the Seaboard Air Line, parallel the shoreline, defining the narrow strip of development between the marshy interior and the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Boynton Canal, which helped drain the lowlands and facilitate the growth of towns like Lantana, Boynton Beach, and Greenacres City. Inland, the Palm Beach County Airport sits adjacent to Lake Osborne, serving as a landmark for the era's growing aviation infrastructure. The barrier island shows established enclaves at Manalapan and Hypoluxo Island, connected to the mainland by bridges as the Florida land boom began to solidify into permanent suburban landscapes.
