About this map

The settlement of Bunnell serves as the focal point of this 1970 landscape, anchored by the Florida East Coast railway and a network of essential town services including a Hospital and High Sch. To the west, the small community of Bimini sits along a straight corridor through the lowlands, marking the transition from municipal development to the extensive wetland systems that dominate the region.

Hydrology dictates the character of the terrain, with the Haw Creek and Middle Haw Creek systems draining the southern reaches. This area is a complex environment of marshes and drainage features, including the Big Cypress Swamp, Sweetwater Swamp, and Black Point Swamp. Man-made efforts to manage this water-heavy landscape are evident in the Black Canal and Parker Canal, which intersect the natural flow of Sweetwater Branch and Little Black Br. The map captures Flagler County just as modern infrastructure was firmly established over the native Florida wetlands.
