1962 Map of Port Everglades

About this map

Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood define the northern and southern reaches of this coastal survey, which highlights the sophisticated maritime infrastructure of mid-century Broward County. The Intracoastal Waterway serves as the spine of the map, linking residential finger islands like Nurmi Isles and Rio Vista Isles to the industrial and recreational hubs of the coast. Central to the map is the Port Everglades Turning Basin, situated near the U S Naval Reservation, illustrating the intersection of military and commercial shipping interests during this era.
