1946 Map of Palm Beach Farms

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Loxahatchee Slough and the West Palm Beach Canal define the drainage and early development patterns of this Florida landscape. Originally surveyed in 1946, the map documents the transition from the agricultural roots of the Palm Beach Farms into organized suburban footprints. The expansion of the West Palm Beach vicinity is evident in the planned street grids of Royal Palm Beach and the presence of Haverhill. Large-scale infrastructure projects such as Floridas Turnpike and the Range Line Road bisect the area, illustrating the post-war transportation boom. Significant recreational and utility spaces, including Okeeheelee Park, the Palm Beach Pines State Recreation Area, and various borrow pits, show how land was repurposed as these communities grew toward Greenacres City.
