About this map

Bunnell serves as the primary hub of this Flagler County landscape, showing the town's expansion and infrastructure at the start of the 1970s. The map illustrates a community shaped by its waterways and wetlands, with the Parker Canal and Black Canal cutting through the low-lying terrain to manage the surrounding Sweetwater Swamp and Big Swamp. These drainage systems are central to the region's geography, allowing for agricultural use and settlement near the Relay State Wildlife Mgmt Area.

To the west, the smaller settlement of Bimini sits along the road network leading away from the town center. The presence of a High School, Hospital, and Radio Tower in Bunnell highlights its role as a local center of services and communication. Further south, the natural meandering of Haw Creek and Middle Haw Creek provides a sharp contrast to the straight-line geometry of the man-made canals found elsewhere on the sheet.
