2012 Map of Bamboo Key

About this map

Bamboo Key sits at the southern edge of this maritime map, serving as a solitary terrestrial point amidst the expanse where the Florida Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. This 2012 chart captures a sparse aquatic landscape where land is at a premium and the water depth and tidal flow define the geography. The map illustrates the significant coastal boundary where the inner bay waters transition toward the open gulf. While land features are nearly non-existent outside the namesake key, the survey provides precise spatial data for this protected marine environment within the Florida Keys archipelago, offering a look at the natural state of these waters in the early 21st century.
