1956 Map of Ormond Beach

About this map

Tomoka State Park dominates the peninsula where the Tomoka River empties into the Tomoka Basin, preserving a landscape of coastal hammocks and wetlands. Evidence of early Spanish and colonial history is visible in landmarks such as the Anacape Mission (Ruins) and the Addison Blockhouse (Ruins) located near National Gardens. The coastal strip shows the mid-century expansion of residential developments like Ormond-by-the-Sea and Ellinor Village, tightly packed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River. Transport routes are well-defined, including the historic Old Dixie Highway and the Florida East Coast railway. Further south, the map captures the northern edges of Daytona Beach and Holly Hill, alongside established local landmarks like the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and Hillside Cem.
