1962 Map of Pompano Beach

About this map

Pompano Beach Airpark and the extensive network of the Intracoastal Waterway define the coastal geography of Broward County during this era of rapid residential development. The map shows the intricate finger canals and private docks that transformed the shoreline, creating communities like Cypress Isles Estates, Santa Barbara Shores, and Sea Ranch Lakes. These mid-century waterway subdivisions reflect the post-war boom that reshaped the Florida coast into a dense suburban landscape, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and organized around new leisure hubs like the Coral Ridge Country Club.
