1956 Map of Elliott Key

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Elliott Key stretches across this mid-century survey, anchoring a chain of islands between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a maritime landscape defined by shallow channels and coral formations, capturing the area before major modern development altered its subtropical character. Navigational markers such as the Tower on the main key and various daybeacons in the Hawk Channel underscore the importance of these waters for transit. Smaller landmasses like Adams Key and Porgy Key dot the southern end of the sheet, while named points like Coon Point and Point Adelle provide specific landmarks for coastal study. The presence of the Intra-Coastal Waterway project line on the western side of the bay highlights the era's ongoing hydrological engineering and maritime planning efforts in Dade County.
