| $365.00 | Sederlund--C- | Map-of-the-Cabanas-Tract-at-Boca-Raton-Florida | Fascinating plat related to the development of Boca Raton, Florida south of the Boca Raton inlet in the immediate post-WWII era.
<br><br>
We offer an unrecorded tract map for the "Cabanas Tract Unit 1" in Boca Raton, Florida, located just south of the Boca Raton Inlet. Four major developers owned that land over time, Mizner, Geist, Schine, and Davis (1). Based on the plat's style and execution as well as street names, it seems that the Cabanas Tract plat is likely a J. Myer Schine proposed development plat dating between 1944 and 1956. (J. Meyer Schine purchased the Boca Raton Club and the Spanish River Land Co. in 1944.
He owned it until 1956, when Arthur Vining Davis/ Arvida acquired the property and associated land holdings.)
<br><br>
One interesting feature is that the lot sizes on the plat are much larger than those found in that area today. Also, the green area, likely a proposed park, does not exist. Today Spanish River Road (then Palm Drive) extends all the way from E. Camino Real to E. 31st Street.
<br><br>
Based on the scale the hand-colored portion of our Cabanas Tract encompasses approximately 130 acres and extends southward from Via Cabana Drive to Bel Air Road (Now SE 31st), street a distance about 3600 linear feet.
