Florida Map from 1884

Interesting find showing the state of Florida c. 1884. This is ten years before Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway would make its way into Palm Beach. Notice the great span of nothingness between Lake Worth and Miami. This is also before the formation of Broward, Palm Beach and, much later, Martin and St. Lucie counties. All were part of a larger Dade county.

Just 20 years after this map, Lake Worth was a city and creating its own electricity.
