1956 Map of Flagler Beach West

About this map

Graham Swamp dominates the center of this coastal Florida landscape, separating the interior settlements from the shoreline. The Florida East Coast railway and the Old Dixie Highway run parallel through the western corridor, serving the communities of Bunnell, Dupont, and Korona. This transit-oriented layout reflects the region's mid-century role as a logistical artery for the state. To the east, the Intracoastal Waterway and Bulow Creek snake toward the Atlantic Ocean at Flagler Beach. Cultural and historical sites are preserved at the Bulow Ruins State Monument and Ormond Tomb State Park, while the interior remains a mosaic of dense wetlands and scattered agriculture. The presence of Good Hope Cem and the Bunnell Airport provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the era's development.
