2012 Map of Cedar Key

About this map

The archipelago of the Cedar Keys dominates this coastal survey, where the town of Cedar Key occupies the intricate shoreline of Way Key. This modern era mapping reveals the complex relationship between the mainland and the Gulf, connected by a narrow transportation corridor leading into the heart of the settlement. The landscape is a mosaic of maritime landmarks, including the prominent Shell Mound on the northern coast and the George T Lewis Airport situated on the southern flats. A labyrinth of tidal channels such as Number Four Channel and Northwest Channel weave between named landforms like Rattlesnake Key and Derrick Key, illustrating a topography shaped by the sea. For those tracing the evolution of coastal Florida, this sheet captures the established street grid of the town alongside the enduring geographic features of the Suwannee Sound and its protective reefs.
