1956 Map of Port Orange

About this map

The Halifax River and the Intracoastal Waterway define this mid-century coastal corridor, separating the mainland settlements from the slender barrier island. Growth is concentrated along the riverbanks in Port Orange, South Daytona, and Allandale, where the Florida East Coast railway runs parallel to the shore. On the island, the small community of Wilbur-by-the-Sea and the development at Halifax Estates sit between the river and the Atlantic Ocean.
