2015 Map of Cottrell Key

About this map

Ballast Key and Woman Key anchor the southern reaches of this maritime landscape in Monroe County, Florida. This aquatic survey highlights a scattering of islands and shoals between the Atlantic Ocean and the Straits of Florida. The navigation routes are well-defined, featuring the Intracoastal Waterway and the Northwest Channel in the northeast, while the Dry Tortugas Fry transit line cuts across the center of the sheet. Significant island clusters like the Barracouta Keys, Joe Ingram Key, and Man Key define the central waters of the Lakes Passage. The mapping provides a clear view of the shallow banks and deep channels that dictate movement through these tropical keys, including Lavina Bank and the surrounding West Channel.
