2018 Map of Bamboo Key

About this map

Bamboo Key stands as a solitary landform in this 2018 survey of the waters north of Marathon, Florida. The geography is defined almost entirely by the expanse of Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, illustrating the delicate island chain's position between these two major water bodies. A primary maritime artery, the Intracoastal Waterway, cuts through the southern portion of the bay, marking the essential navigation route for coastal transit. This map focuses on the submerged and tidal environments of the Middle Keys, where the transition from shallow bay waters to the open ocean is punctuated only by the eponymous key, providing a clear record of the shoreline and nautical channels in the late twenty-tens.
