2021 Map of Bamboo Key

About this map

Florida Bay and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this coastal survey, where the maritime boundaries of the Florida Keys meet the expansive sea. The map focuses on the aquatic landscape just off the coast of Marathon, detailing the critical transit route of the Intracoastal Waterway as it cuts through the bay. This segment of the keys highlights the isolation of small landforms like Bamboo Key, which stands as a solitary terrestrial marker in a region defined by its complex tidal environments and shallow seagrass flats. The map provides a clear picture of the modern navigational corridors and environmental preservation zones that characterize the waters of Monroe County today.
