About this map

The Hills Boro Canal serves as a prominent boundary line on this Florida landscape, separating the developing suburban tracts of Coral Springs and Parkland from the burgeoning coastal municipalities to the east. During the early 1960s, this region was undergoing a significant transformation from agricultural and open land into a network of residential communities and golf courses. Notable pockets of established community life appear at New Jerusalem Ch and smaller settlements like West Dixie Bend and Lakeview.

Transport and drainage infrastructure dominate the layout, with Florida's Turnpike Toll Road cutting a vertical swathe through the center, paralleling the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. In the southeastern portion, the map documents the growth of neighborhoods like Bonnie Loch, Carver Village, and Sanders Park near Pompano Beach. The map's detail also includes numerous designated parklands, such as South County Regional Park and Trade Winds Park North, alongside specialized landmarks like the local Waterworks and Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens.
