1956 Map of Flagler Beach West

About this map

Bulow Ruins State Monument and Ormond Tomb State Park anchor the eastern coastal lowlands of Flagler County, preserving the visible history of early Florida settlement amid the sprawling Graham Swamp and Black Branch Swamp. The map details a landscape defined by its transport corridors, where the Florida East Coast railroad and Old Dixie Highway run parallel, connecting the agricultural hub of Bunnell with the small rail-aligned communities of Dupont and Korona. Along the coast, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshlands just inland from Flagler Beach, while inland features like Gore Lake and the Bunnell Airport indicate mid-century regional development. The presence of the Old Kings Road and an Old Telephone Line provides a clear view of the historic infrastructure that once served these rural outposts before modern highway expansions altered the flow of travel through the wetlands.
