1949 Map of Perrine

About this map

The Florida East Coast railway corridor dictates the early development of this coastal landscape just after World War II, connecting the settlements of Perrine, Peters, and South Allapattah. Moving east toward the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, the grid of modern development gives way to the historic winding path of Old Cutler Road and the small coastal community of Cutler. The drainage patterns of the area are clearly defined by the Coconut Palm Canal and Black Creek, which feed into the bay near Black Pt. This survey, compiled from mid-1940s aerial photography, documents the transition of Miami-Dade County's southern reaches from agricultural and rural plots toward suburban expansion. Notable coastal features like Chicken Key and the boundary of the City of Coral Gables illustrate the mix of private land and protected waterfront that characterized the era.
