About this map

Daytona Park Estates marks the western edge of this 1962 topographical study, showing the residential grid expanding into the Florida interior with roads like Camelia Rd, Iris Road, and Orange Road. East of the developing neighborhood, the landscape transitions into a complex mosaic of wetlands and forested islands. Notable water features include Lake Winnemissett and the smaller Park Lake near the southwestern corner.

The central and eastern portions of the map are defined by named swamplands and hydrologic features such as Tiger Bay, Akins Bay, and Boggy Strand. The intricate drainage patterns of Deep Creek, Little Haw Creek, and the curiously named Dark Entry flow through numerous Islands, including the distinct Rattlesnake Island. Scattered Borrow Pit labels suggest localized extraction and construction efforts within this saturated terrain.
