About this map

The suburban development of South Dade County meets the protected waters of Biscayne National Park on this 1988 survey. Suburban expansion is evident through the dense residential grids of Perrine, Cutler Ridge, and Goulds, while the shoreline remains largely defined by the Mangrove Preserve and the Deering Estate Preserve. Transportation is dominated by the corridor of Floridas Turnpike and the historic Florida East Coast railway, which slice through the western half of the map.

Smaller neighborhoods like Lincoln Estates and South Allapattah sit adjacent to extensive agricultural or undeveloped lands. The map also captures the critical water management infrastructure of the era, including Canal No C-1 and the South Dade Sewage Treatment Facility. Community life is represented by local institutions such as Christ the King Ch and schools like Richmond Sch and the R R Moton Sch.
