How to read this map
Work in progress. This map is not exhaustive. It presents the result of documented research at this release and changes as sources are added, corrected, or superseded. Every node is based on at least one public source and carries its sources and confidence class. If something is missing or wrong, use Correct in the node panel or the Corrections page.
Every circle is a business, every dashed circle a person documented in a public role, every square a place or institution: a plaza or parcel, a street or crossing, a civic body, an organization, an event or a press recognition. Colour is the layer of the place. Gold rings mark the four commercial anchors named on Detection #2: three grocers and the Miami China City specialty goods store; New York Mart is iFresh's predecessor at the same address and is not a separate anchor. Node size follows how connected a node is, so the nodes that hold the district together stand out on their own.
Lineage lays the district out on a timeline, left to right by the year each node enters, with each layer in its own lane. Network lets the connections pull the map into clusters, which is where you see what the district is held together by: the grocers and the plazas rather than any single famous address, and, between the businesses and the civic layer, the reported designation of 2015, which is graded Low because its instrument is not located. NMB AsiaTown is the map's own descriptor, not an official civic designation. 3D lets the same network settle in three dimensions. Cities puts everything on the street itself at parcel scale: the western anchor at NW 167th Street and North Miami Avenue, the 167th cluster, and the strip running east along 163rd Street toward the Intracoastal, with the gaps between the clusters drawn as they are. Everything with a documented link but no address in the district sits in a cluster off the frame.
Play runs the timeline as an animation: the district accretes year by year around its grocers, and the two night markets of December 2025 and May 2026 arrive as the first recognition events. A business enters at its founding year, taken from Sunbiz or the county business tax receipt, and a person at their first documented activity. A node with no recorded founding year enters at the first year the map documents it, never earlier, and its panel says so under Placed at; a node with no dated link at all enters at the cutoff year.
Solid lines are businesses, capital and recognition moving through places: a business located in a plaza, an entity opening a location, a relocation, a second location, an earlier business at the same address, a related venture, an organizer producing an event. Dashed lines are influence, used only where a business or organization has itself said it followed another. Dotted lines are programs and licenses, appearances in events and press guides, collaborations and sponsorships. Click any node and the panel on the right tells its story and lists every connection; Trace lineage lights up everything upstream and downstream of it.
Public disclosure policy. This map uses public business records, public corporate filings, property records, public calendars, public civic documents, public press coverage and public listings. It maps commercial infrastructure and documented civic activity, not endorsements, partnerships or private cultural behavior. Inclusion does not require participation, consent or approval. The map corrects factual errors promptly and considers removal requests case by case where a listing is outdated, an entity has closed, publication presents a material safety concern, or the entity is not conducting public facing commercial activity. Public commercial infrastructure is mappable; private cultural behavior is protected.
Catchment leaves the network and shows who came to the two city hosted night markets and from where: every dot is a visitor home ZIP from the Placer.ai export for the event days, sized by visits, over the South Florida counties, with rings at 5, 25 and 75 miles from Mishcon Athletic Field. December 2025 and May 2026 can be shown alone or together; 28 ZIPs sent people to both. Origins are ZIP level, never addresses, and the far travel tail beyond the frame is counted in the totals but not drawn.
Scope and rules. The map covers the Asian commercial district along NE 163rd Street and NE 167th Street in North Miami Beach as Detection #2 draws it, with the plazas that hold the businesses, the streets and crossings, the civic bodies and programs, the community organizations, the events and press that recognize it, the closed predecessors and manufactured districts that precede it, and the chains, parents and sponsors outside the corridor with a documented link into it. A business is on the map when the county business tax record or Sunbiz shows it operating and a documented link of one of the relationship types exists. A plaza's street address is an attribute, not an edge, and so is a routine business license, because every business holds one and the edge would carry no information. A person appears only when they are a public figure or documented in press or public records in that role; no owner of a small business is named from a corporate filing alone, and no family relationship between owners is mapped. Hub regions are the western anchor, the 167th cluster, the 163rd Street east strip, outside the corridor, and a location not recorded cluster for nodes whose sources give no address.
Current cases. The anchor grocer mechanism, the night market as recognition trigger, the built anchor against the organic cluster, and the North Miami counter case are singled out in the sidebar because each shows a different mechanism by which a district assembles itself and gets seen. A case is featured only when it rests on at least one official source, an independent source for any historical or superlative claim, a date, a defined relationship or event, a separation of completed from announced activity, and no reliance on private communications. Node size and centrality are computed from the dataset and are never adjusted for a case.
Evidence. Data are current through . Activity after that date is described as announced or scheduled, never as completed. Each node carries a confidence grade and source ids in its panel: High means an official record or two independent sources; Medium means a reference entry or a single press report; Low means a detail still flagged as unverified. Connection counts and betweenness are computed on this dataset, with every edge type weighted equally, and describe position in the map, not sales or importance. Placer figures appear only as published on the Detection #2 page. Nothing from private visits, contacts or messages is cited.
