1955 Map of South Miami NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Westwood Lake and Richmond Heights anchor the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, capturing the early suburban expansion into the Florida Everglades. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of major thoroughfares like Bird Drive and Krome Avenue, while the southern portion reveals the transition of military and aviation infrastructure. Large institutional footprints are prominent, including the University of Miami (South Campus) and the U S Naval Air Station (Inactive). The emergence of the New Tamiami Airport alongside the older Tamiami Airport shows the rapid aviation growth in Dade County. Local history details are preserved in the locations of Paradise Memorial Cem and Haven Sch, while the Snapper Creek drainage and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad reflect the engineering efforts to manage this low-lying terrain.
