2024 Map of Arsenicker Keys

About this map

Biscayne National Park dominates this coastal landscape where the mainland's engineered canal systems meet the open waters of Biscayne Bay. Along the western edge, the massive footprint of the Homestead Air Reserve Base interfaces with a grid of suburban streets and agricultural drainage, including the Military Canal and Mowry Canal. This transition from military installation to protected marine wilderness is defined by a rugged shoreline featuring Turkey Point and Turtle Point. Further east into the bay, the map documents the Arsenicker Key archipelago, including Long Arsenicker Key and East Arsenicker Key. These keys, along with Totten Key near the settlement of Islandia, mark the boundary between the inner bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, illustrating the intersection of modern South Florida infrastructure and sensitive subtropical environments.
