About this map

Cutler Bay and its surrounding communities are defined by a complex network of artificial waterways and recreational trails along the edge of Biscayne National Park. This coastal landscape, deeply modified for drainage and residential development, features an intricate system of canals including the Cutler Drain Canal C-100 and Black Creek Canal C-1. These channels segment the suburban residential grids of Palmetto Estates, West Perrine, and Saga Bay, directing water toward the mangrove-lined shore at Black Point.

Transit corridors like the Busway and the South Dade Trl run parallel to the coast, providing a north-south backbone through established neighborhoods such as Franjo and Peters. The presence of the Homestead ARB at the southern margin and the South Dade Justice Center highlights the area's role as a regional administrative and military hub. Along the shoreline, markers like Chicken Key and Fender Point indicate the transition from the built environment to the protected waters of the bay.
