1956 Map of Port Orange

About this map

Port Orange and the neighboring coastal communities of Daytona Beach anchor this mid-century topographic survey of the Florida coast. The landscape is defined by the narrow barrier islands and the protected waters of the Halifax River, where the Intracoastal Waterway navigates past Pelican Island. Notable revisions from later in the century highlight the urban expansion of Daytona Beach Shores and South Daytona, illustrating the rapid growth of the region's residential and tourism infrastructure.
