About this map

Bunnell serves as a primary hub in this coastal Florida landscape, where the flatlands of the interior meet the intricate hydrology of the Atlantic seaboard. The settlement pattern follows the established transportation corridors, with small communities like Dupont and Korona situated along the rail and road lines that parallel the coast. To the east, the Intracoastal Waterway and Smith Creek separate the barrier island of Flagler Beach from the mainland swamps.

Significant acreage is dedicated to conservation and history, including the Relay State Wildlife Management Area and the Bulow Ruins State Monument. The map documents the persistent influence of historical routes such as the Old Kings Road and Old Dixie Highway, which navigate the edges of the Graham Swamp. This coastal drainage system, including Bulow Creek and Gore Lake, defines the habitable areas between the inland pine woods and the marshes bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
