1971 Map of Boca Chica Key

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The U.S. Naval Air Station Key West dominates the central landscape of Boca Chica Key, showing the strategic military infrastructure of the Florida Keys in the early 1970s. This orthophotomat merges traditional topographic lines with aerial photography, revealing the intricate patterns of mangroves and shallow channels surrounding Big Coppitt Key and the Saddlebunch Keys. To the north, the protected waters of the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge contrast with the developing institutional corridor along Roosevelt Blvd, which includes the Florida Keys Community College and Lower Keys Memorial Hospital. Local recreation and entertainment are visible through the Key West Country Club and a Drive-in Theater near Stock Island. Navigational markers and sounding depths define the Intracoastal Waterway and Hawk Channel, illustrating the critical maritime connections between the Gulf and the Atlantic.
