About this map

Daytona Park Estates represents the primary residential development in this 1960s landscape, featuring a grid of streets including Central Parkway, Iris Road, and Orange Road. The surrounding environment is defined by complex water systems and marshlands, notably the expanses of Tiger Bay and Akins Bay to the east. The terrain is characterized by numerous unnamed islands and the distinct Rattlesnake Island, indicating a low-lying, swampy topography typical of the Florida interior during this era.

Industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Borrow Pit sites, particularly near the Pipeline that traverses the northern sections. Waterways like Deep Creek and Little Haw Creek drain the region toward Lake Winnemissett in the southwest corner. The presence of a large Restricted area in the northwest suggests military or specialized government land use, contrasting with the emerging suburban subdivisions nearby.
