About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses this marine landscape in Florida Bay, where a network of keys and submerged banks defines the transition from the mainland to the open Gulf. The geography is characterized by intricate water passages like Joe Kemp Channel and Conchie Channel, which separate isolated landforms such as Murray Key and Frank Key.

Named features like Dildo Key and Man of War Key suggest a history of local maritime navigation and folk naming conventions within these shallow waters. Large submerged areas, including Sandy Key Basin and Rabbit Key Basin, indicate the complex hydrography of the bay. This modern survey reflects the preserved state of the keys, illustrating the lack of terrestrial development within the park boundaries while detailing the precise locations of banks like Dave Foy Bank and Oxfoot Bank.
