1970 - aerial view of Dressel's Dairy on Milam Dairy Road

West of Miami International Airport view map


We can now see the dreaded development starting up west of the airport with a large building on the east side of Milam Dairy Road across the street from the dairy and another large building southwest of the dairy fronting the Palmetto Expressway. The entire area depicted is now paved over with warehouses and parking lots with few trees and little landscaping to prevent it from being yet another urban heat island to increase our temperatures even further. (See attached Geotag map)

Hi Steve, it looks right to me. The top is north. The Palmetto is west of Dressel's, Milam Dairy is east, but 36th Street is north, not south, and that's the way it was - Dressel's was south of 36th Street. There are numerous other photos on the site that show the same thing.

I rember our father taking us there on Saturday afternoon for a treat at the ice cream bar. They had a small train we would ride in, it was a styled after the Seaboard Coast Line stream liner passenger train.
