2018 Map of Dry Tortugas OE S

About this map

Dry Tortugas National Park dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the remote protected waters at the far western end of the Florida Keys. This 2018 edition reveals an environment defined entirely by the sea, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Straits of Florida. The map delineates the critical maritime boundaries of the park, ensuring the preservation of this isolated coral reef ecosystem. While the sheet lacks terrestrial features, it captures the essential hydrography of the Southwest Channel, a vital passage for navigation in these shallow, turquoise waters. For researchers and historians, the map provides a contemporary baseline for the park's maritime extent and its relation to the surrounding international waters of the Florida Straits.
