1956 Map of Perrine

About this map

Perrine and Peters anchor this mid-century landscape where the agricultural roots of south Dade County meet expanding suburban developments and coastal wetlands. The Florida East Coast railway runs parallel to Dixie Highway, connecting established groves and fields to the growing neighborhoods at Cutler Ridge and Franjo. The coastal margin is defined by a complex network of man-made drainage, including the Coconut Palm Canal and Black Creek, which flow toward the mangroves at Black Point and the open waters of Biscayne Bay.
