About this map

Daytona Beach occupies the center of this coastal landscape, showing the city's significant mid-century footprint between the Tomoka River and the Atlantic Ocean. The urban landscape is anchored by educational and civic institutions such as Bethune-Cookman College and Mainland High Sch, while the transportation network is defined by the Florida East Coast RR and prominent bridges like the Main St Br crossing the Halifax River.

Outside the dense city center, the map documents the growth of specialized entertainment and infrastructure, including the Daytona International Speedway and the adjacent Daytona Beach Regional Airport. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the scattered memorial sites like Cedar Hill Cem and Bellevue Memorial Cem. The transition from the residential grids of Holly Hill and South Daytona to the marshy riverbanks illustrates the geographic constraints that shaped the development of this iconic Florida coastline.
