1971 Map of Crawl Key

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Crawl Key and Little Crawl Key anchor this orthophotomap, showing the delicate landscape of the middle Florida Keys during the early 1970s. The aerial imagery, combined with topographic data, captures the thin thread of development along the Overseas Highway as it connects Grassy Key to the southwest. The marine environment dominates the sheet, revealing the complex underwater geography of Hawk Channel and the expansive Straits of Florida. Navigational markers like the Light near East Turtle Shoal and the reefs of Coffins Patch illustrate the maritime hazards that have long defined this stretch of coastline. South of Deer Point, the seafloor depth soundings provide a detailed record of the transition from the shallow waters of Florida Bay to the deeper blue of the open sea, documenting the area's geography just as modern tourism was beginning to reshape these coral islands.
