1962 Map of Port Everglades

Southward toward Hollywood, the landscape retains more open water and marshy transitions at West Lake and South Lake. The presence of the U S Naval Reservation and various municipal boundaries, such as the Fort Lauderdale Corp Bdy, indicate a period of intense institutional and residential expansion. From the Dania Cut-off Canal to the jetties at the harbor entrance, the map documents a sophisticated network of inland sounds and engineered waterways designed to manage the interface between the Atlantic Ocean and the growing urban corridor.
