1956 Map of Elliott Key

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Elliott Key and its surrounding archipelago dominate this mid-century maritime study, capturing the uninhabited character of the northern Florida Keys before significant modern development. The map delineates a complex network of shallow passages and coral formations between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, including the treacherous Ajax Reef and the Legare Anchorage. Notable landmarks like Sands Cut at the northern tip and Caesar Rock to the south mark the limits of the main key, while smaller islands such as Adams Key and Meigs Key appear as isolated outposts in the tidal flats.
