1956 Map of Beverly Beach

About this map

The Matanzas River and the Intracoastal Waterway define the coastal landscape of this Flagler County region, where the Atlantic shoreline meets dense wetlands. In the north, Washington Oaks State Gardens preserves a significant stretch of the barrier island, while further south, settlements like Bon Terra, Painters Hill, and Beverly Beach cluster along the beach. The map illustrates the shift from these coastal communities to the interior wilderness of Graham Swamp, showing how the land was managed through features like the Fox Cut and several drainage canals.
