1962 Map of University Park

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western half of this Florida landscape, defined by a massive water management system including the L-40 Levee and Conservation Area No 1. East of the levee, the agricultural and residential grid of Palm Beach County begins to take shape. This 1962 survey, with revisions from 1969, captures a pivotal moment of expansion as Florida's Turnpike Toll Road cuts through the center of the sheet with major points at Interchange 7 and Interchange 6. Pockets of development like Delray Gardens and County Club Acres appear alongside institutional landmarks such as St Andrews Preparatory Sch and Hagen Sch. The map reveals the transitional economy of the era, where a rural Landing Strip and numerous canals sit adjacent to emerging suburbs and the growing University Park settlement.
