About this map

Biscayne Bay and the complex waterways of the Intracoastal Waterway define this coastal landscape during a period of dense urban growth. The map illustrates the intensive development of the harbor, from the Cruise Ship Docks Port of Miami on Dodge Island to the industrial waterfront activities at the Bimini Shipping Wharf and Slip. The urban grid is established across historic neighborhoods such as Lemon City, Allapattah, and Little River, while the Florida East Coast RR remains a primary transit corridor through the city center.

Maritime infrastructure is exceptionally detailed, featuring the Watson Island International Seaplane Base and numerous marinas like the Brickell Place Marina. Inland, the map documents significant cultural and civic landmarks, including Marlins Ballpark and the historic City Cem. This 2012 snapshot captures the city just as major redevelopments were reshaping the waterfront and the northern districts of Miami Shores and El Portal.
