2024 Map of Elliott Key

About this map

Biscayne National Park encompasses this fragile chain of limestone keys and coral reefs, preserving a corridor of subtropical wilderness between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The long, narrow spine of Elliott Key dominates the landscape, featuring the Elliott Key Hiking Trl which runs the length of the island through dense maritime forest. To the south, the map details the intricate waterways around Islandia, where tidal channels like Caesar Creek and Hurricane Creek separate a cluster of smaller islands including Adams Key, Porgy Key, and Old Rhodes Key. The presence of Caesar Rock and multiple reefs, such as Ajax Reef and Long Reef, highlights the treacherous maritime geography that historically defined navigation in the Hawk Channel. This modern survey documents the current shoreline and protected status of these northernmost Florida Keys, emphasizing their role as a transition between the protected bay and the open sea.
