About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses this maritime landscape of the Florida Bay, where a network of shallow basins and banks defines the coastal environment. The map highlights the complex hydrography of the region, including the Joe Kemp Channel and Conchie Channel, which serve as critical passages through the submerged flats. Scattered throughout the Atlantic Ocean waters are several named islands, such as Murray Key, Frank Key, and the centrally located Clive Key.

This 2015 survey illustrates the delicate nature of the coastline, showing expansive underwater features like the Dildo Key Bank and Oxfoot Bank. These banks and basins, such as Sandy Key Basin, are essential for understanding the shifting sediment and navigation routes in this protected wilderness area. The inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grid, with designations like t61s r34e, provides a precise framework for locating these remote keys and channels.
