About this map

Miami Canal and Pennsuco Canal define the hydrology of this South Florida corridor, where the residential expansion of Pembroke Pines and Miramar meets the industrial and agricultural fringes of Medley and Pennsuco. The landscape is a study in transition, with a rigid street grid emerging in the northeast while the southwest remains dominated by open land and large-scale water management features. Hialeah Gardens sits at a critical junction where major thoroughfares like W Okeechobee Rd and Krome Ave intersect the canal systems.

Industrial activity near the Miami-Dade County border is highlighted by features like Draft Dodge Island, while the northern portion of the sheet shows the rapid suburban development of Broward County in the early 21st century. The map traces the precise boundary line between these two major counties, illustrating how municipal growth has been shaped by the presence of historical drainage routes and primary transit arteries.
