1981 Map of Miami

About this map

The Everglades dominates the western half of this landscape, where the Shark River Slough and various hammocks like Gumbo Limbo Hammock define the subtropical wilderness. This 1981 survey documents the stark contrast between these protected conservation areas and the dense urban corridor stretching from North Miami Beach down through Miami to South Miami. The region’s infrastructure is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line and Florida East Coast Railway, while the Tamiami Trail and Florida's Turnpike facilitate movement across the marshes and along the coast.
