About this map

The Atlantic coastline of Broward County is defined by a complex network of barrier islands and tidal inlets just after World War II. The development of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood is centered on the Intracoastal Waterway, which serves as the primary artery for coastal navigation. At Port Everglades, the deep-water Turning Basin and North Jetty mark a significant era of maritime engineering designed to facilitate heavy shipping traffic.
