1994 Map of South Miami

About this map

Coral Gables and the sprawling University of Miami campus anchor the northern reaches of this mid-1990s coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by dense suburban integration and extensive public green space. The shoreline of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve is dominated by significant preserves and landmarks, including the historic Matheson Hammock County Park and the Deering Estate, which contrast with the engineered canals like Snapper Creek Canal. Inland, the commercial hub of Kendall is visible near the intersection of major thoroughfares like the Palmetto Expressway, while the Metrorail line provides a modern transit corridor through South Miami. Local history is captured in the numerous neighborhood schools and landmarks, such as the Parrot Jungle amusement park and the specialized USDA Horticultural Research Station, which reflect the region's diverse institutional and recreational development during this era.
