2018 Map of Bay Keys

About this map

The Bay Keys and West Harbor Keys are part of a secluded island and waterway network in the Florida Keys as it appeared in 2018. The landscape is defined by shallow marine passages, including the Bluefish Channel and Calda Channel, which provide vital navigation through the flats north of the primary island chain. To the north, the Atlantic Ocean dominates the sheet, while the presence of the Intracoastal Waterway marks the established maritime route used for transit along the coast. Smaller terrain features such as Cayo Agua sit near the southern edge of the quadrangle, illustrating the low-lying, tidal nature of these landmasses. This survey captures a moment in the modern era before shifting coastal dynamics might alter these sensitive environments, documenting the exact layout of channels like the East Harbor Key Channel and West Harbor Key Channel.
