About this map

Espanola serves as the primary hub of activity on this Flagler County landscape, situated along the Florida East Coast Railroad and the historic Old Brick Road. This inland region is characterized by an extensive network of drainage and transportation, where the Aqueduct Grade and St Joe Road cut through low-lying terrain. The map captures the social center of the small community at St Pauls Ch, an Athletic Field, and the Espanola Cem.

Further north and east, the landscape transitions into the watery reaches of Hulett Swamp and Pringle Swamp. Local commerce and transit are evidenced by the St Joe Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway running along the eastern edge. Named water bodies like Speckled Perch Lake and Neoga Lake near the settlement of Neoga highlight the freshwater resources that defined this part of Florida before later coastal development shifted the region's focus.
