About this map

Codys Corner and Deanville anchor the northwestern landscape of this Flagler County region as it appeared in the early 1970s. This interior Florida terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and watercourses, including the swampy reaches of Middle Haw Creek and Little Haw Creek. Large portions of the map are dedicated to the Relay State Wildlife Management Area, where the boundary between Flagler and Volusia counties is clearly marked amidst the wooded lowlands.

A Lookout Tower near the small settlement of Relay and a Radio Tower further north suggest the importance of fire observation and communication in this densely vegetated environment. The presence of the Parker Canal and a Jeep Trail cutting through the hammocks and pine flatwoods indicates how human utility has interacted with the natural hydrology. Significant land features like Heart Island and the eastern edge of Lake Disston highlight the rural, water-dependent character of the area before modern development expanded through the coastal corridor.
