Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Miami came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Miami in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Miami. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: Initially, we were careless about keeping track of where our Miami data came from. The following list of references and mentions is incomplete.
