2012 Map of Bay Keys

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico dominates this coastal survey, where the remote island geography of Monroe County is defined by the Bay Keys and West Harbor Key. This 2012 edition documents a largely aquatic landscape, emphasizing the navigational routes through these southern waters. A significant transit marker on the map is the designated Ferry Crossing, indicating a maritime connection through the open sea that predates or bypasses traditional land routes. The map provides a clear look at the isolation of these small landmasses, offering researchers a precise record of the shoreline and maritime boundaries before the impacts of shifting tides and environmental changes in the Florida Keys.
