About this map

The Halifax River and the Intracoastal Waterway define the coastal character of this Florida landscape, separating the mainland from the barrier island communities of Seabreeze and Daytona Beach Shores. Inland, the 1952 survey highlights the significant footprint of the Daytona Beach Regional Airport and the iconic Daytona International Speedway, situated near Lake Lloyd. The urban grid reflects mid-century growth in Daytona Beach, stretching from Holly Hill in the north to South Daytona and Port Orange in the south.

Institutional landmarks including Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach Junior College, and Cypress Street Sch serve as important anchors for local history and genealogy research. The map preserves the location of traditional burial grounds like Mt Ararat Cem and Cedar Hill Cem, alongside recreational sites such as the Volusia County Kennel Club and the Country Club, illustrating a transition from early coastal settlements to a major regional tourism and transportation hub.
