About this map

Bunnell serves as the primary hub of this 1970 landscape, where the Florida East Coast railway dictates the alignment of local development and infrastructure. The town core is detailed with local institutions, including the High School and a Hospital, while a Radio Tower stands just to the north. West of the town, the settlement of Bimini marks the edge of a vast drainage network that defines Flagler County's geography.

The terrain is dominated by an intricate system of wetlands and watercourses, from the expansive Big Cypress Swamp and Black Point Swamp in the north to the Sweetwater Swamp in the south. These natural features are modified by human engineering, visible in the Black Canal and Parker Canal, which attempt to manage the water flowing toward Haw Creek and its tributary, Middle Haw Creek. This interplay between the rail-based town center and the surrounding swamp drainage system provides a clear view of the region's mid-century environmental and civic structure.
