2012 Map of South of Coopertown

About this map

Blue Shanty Canal runs along the western edge of this landscape, representing a significant hydrological feature in Miami-Dade County. The area south of Coopertown is defined by a rigid rectilinear grid of roads that illustrates the systematic parceling of South Florida land for agriculture and rural development. This network includes major corridors such as SW 90th St, SW 104th St, and SW 144th St, which serve as the primary east-west arteries. The north-south avenues, including SW 267th Ave and SW 217th Ave, further divide the territory into large, uniform blocks. The sparsity of structures indicates a transition zone between the developed eastern suburbs and the open wetlands of the Everglades, where the infrastructure is primarily designed for land management and access rather than dense habitation.
