2018 Map of Elliott Key

About this map

Elliott Key and its surrounding archipelago anchor this detailed coastal survey within Biscayne National Park. This portion of the Florida Keys reveals a landscape defined by narrow limestone islands and intricate tidal waterways, including the southern reaches of the Intracoastal Waterway and the sheltered expanse of Biscayne Bay. Near the southern end of the sheet, the community of Islandia is situated among a cluster of smaller islands like Old Rhodes Key and Adams Key. The transition between the bay and the open Atlantic Ocean is marked by tidal passages such as Caesar Creek and Sands Cut. Mariners and historians can trace the underwater geography of the barrier reef system, where features like Ajax Reef and Bache Shoal provide a natural buffer for the inner lagoon and the complex network of points including Log Point and Billys Point.
