About this map

Daytona Park Estates represents the primary residential development in this portion of Volusia County, featuring a structured grid of streets such as Laurel Road and Orange Road. Surrounding this mid-century growth is a vast hydrological network characterized by wetlands and seasonal drainages. The landscape is dominated by Tiger Bay and Deep Creek, which dictate the local topography and historical land use. Scattered throughout these wetlands are various island formations including Dukes Islands, McKenzie Islands, and the curiously named Rattlesnake Island.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible through numerous Borrow Pits situated near the major transport corridors and a prominent Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain. These features, alongside bodies of water like Lake Winnemissett and Park Lake, provide a detailed view of the Florida interior as it transitioned from natural swamp and forest to a managed suburban landscape by the late 20th century.
