1949 Map of Perrine

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Perrine and Peters anchor the coastal ridge of southern Florida in the years following World War II, a landscape defined by the Florida East Coast railroad and a burgeoning network of agricultural roads. The map reveals a transition from the established City of Coral Gables in the north toward the open wetlands and canal systems of the south. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, with the Coconut Goulds Canal and Black Creek cutting through the limestone and sand toward Biscayne Bay. Coastal landmarks like Chicken Key and Black Pt remain largely undeveloped, while inland, family-named routes such as Moody Drive and Waldin Drive trace the early subdivision of the land into groves and farms. Smaller settlements like Franjo and South Allapattah show the era's rural settlement patterns before the rapid suburbanization of the late 20th century.
