1956 Map of Perrine

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Biscayne Bay defines the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the development of South Florida meets the mangrove shoreline and shallow waters of the Atlantic coast. The Florida East Coast railway serves as the spine for early settlements like Perrine, Peters, and Cutler, tracing a path parallel to the coastline. This mid-century view captures the transition of the landscape into suburban clusters like Cutler Ridge and Franjo, while agricultural and drainage patterns are visible through the network of canals, including Black Creek and the Coconut Palm Drive Canal. To the south, the northern periphery of Homestead Air Force Base is established, marking the era's military presence. The map also documents specific navigational and industrial landmarks such as a Radio Tower, several Gaging Stations, and the Spoil Bank along the bayfront, providing a detailed record of the region’s hydraulic engineering and residential expansion.
