1972 Map of Codys Corner

About this map

Codys Corner serves as the focal point of this interior Florida landscape, situated at a road junction amidst a network of drainage features and wetlands. The map illustrates a transitional environment where agricultural and forestry interests meet the natural hydrology of the region, including the headwaters of Middle Haw Creek and Little Haw Creek. Evidence of early settlement and rural industry is visible at Deanville and Relay, the latter marked by a Lookout Tower presumably for fire surveillance. The terrain is dominated by the sprawling Heart Island and the eastern edge of Lake Disston, reflecting the low-lying character of the border between Flagler and Volusia counties. Man-made interventions like the Parker Canal and various Jeep Trails snake through the marshy sections, showing how local residents and state agencies navigated and managed the Florida interior during the early 1970s.
