1988 Map of Elliott Key

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Elliott Key serves as the central landmass of Biscayne National Park in this late 20th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by maritime navigation and conservation. The map details the thin barrier between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, punctuated by specific landings such as University Dock and the Visitor Center near the Campground. The southern end of the sheet transitions into a dense cluster of smaller islands, including Adams Key, Porgy Key, and Rhodes Key, separated by tidal passages like Caesar Creek and Hurricane Creek. Offshore, the survey meticulously records the submerged hazards and landmarks essential to local mariners, from the Ajax Reef and Long Reef to named anchorages like Legare Anchorage. The inclusion of several Trails and a Radio Tower indicates the light human footprint on these keys during this period of federal protection.
