1972 Map of Bamboo Key

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Florida Bay defines this orthophotomap, showing the shallow, submerged topography of the Florida Keys as it was recorded in the early 1970s. This specific sheet focuses on the area surrounding Bamboo Key, a small island feature that stands out against the expanse of sea grass and carbonate mud banks. The map includes precise hydrographic data and depth soundings, revealing the intricate patterns of the seafloor and the navigation routes essential for maritime travel. A critical section of the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the lower portion of the map, marked by a navigational light to guide vessel traffic through these complex shallows. This 1972 survey, based on aerial photography from 1970, provides a clear view of the natural shoals and channels before more modern shifts in the bay's environment.
