2024 Map of Boca Chica Key

About this map

Key West Naval Air Station (Boca Chica Field) dominates the central landscape of this Florida Keys survey, anchoring a network of islands and channels linked by the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trl. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the lower keys, from the residential clusters at Stock Island and Big Coppitt Key to the extensive footprint of NAS Key West FL. Academic and medical facilities such as Florida Keys Community College and the Naval Hospital are positioned alongside natural preservation areas, most notably the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. The complex hydrology of the region is traced through numerous passages like the Boca Chica Channel and Rockland Channel, which provide vital navigable routes between the Atlantic Ocean and the inner bays. Cultural landmarks like the Southern Keys Cem reflect the long-standing community presence amidst these strategically significant islands.
