1970 Map of Bunnell

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.
