About this map

Miami Lakes and Opa-Locka define the suburban landscape of northern Miami-Dade County in the late 2010s. This survey illustrates a densely settled region dominated by master-planned communities and a complex water management system featuring the Miami Canal, Snake Creek Canal, and the Biscayne Canal. The area serves as a significant educational hub, anchoring institutions such as Florida Memorial University, Saint Thomas University, and Keiser University.

Logistics and transport are central to the district's character, centered on the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport and the heavy commercial corridors of Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens. Residential developments are interspersed with numerous small bodies of water like Lake Catalina and Lake Laurence West, while Vista Memorial Gardens provides a major green space amidst the grid. The map also traces the boundary between Broward and Miami-Dade counties, showing the continuous urban growth through Miramar and Pembroke Pines.
