About this map

Big Pine Key and its surrounding archipelago anchor this 2012 survey, revealing the intricate geography of the Florida Keys before significant modern changes. The landscape is defined by its numerous channels and bights, such as the Big Spanish Channel and Coupon Bight, which separate the fragmented terrain of No Name Key, Little Pine Key, and Bahia Honda Key. The map details the residential expansion on the main key, showing a dense network of roads like Watson Blvd and Newfound Blvd alongside the Memorial Gardens of the Keys.

Southward, the Overseas Highway crosses Spanish Harbor Channel toward Bahia Honda State Park, a significant preserve at the eastern edge of the sheet. The presence of Sawyer Camp and Wesumkee Camp on Scout Key indicates the area's continued importance for recreation and youth organization retreats. This survey provides a baseline of the keys' coastal morphology and development patterns at the start of the 2010s.
