About this map

Florida Bay dominates this marine survey, revealing the intricate network of shallows, basins, and keys that define this submerged landscape. Named keys are scattered throughout the shallows, from the central Clive Key to the more outlying Dildo Key and Palm Key. The geography is shaped by a series of channels and basins that dictate maritime navigation, including the Joe Kemp Channel in the north and the Man of War Channel further south.

Submerged banks such as Sandy Key Bank, Dave Foy Bank, and Oxfoot Bank indicate the shifting shoals of the bay. These features, along with the Conchie Basin and Sandy Key Basin, reflect a coastal environment where land and water are constantly in flux. The map provides a precise record of these eponymous landmarks and waterways as they appeared in 2012, serving as a primary reference for the naming conventions of the Florida Keys.
