1947 Map of Garden Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Key Largo stretches across this mid-century survey, showcasing the narrow land bridge between Barnes Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The topography is dominated by the Basin Hills and the winding coastline of the upper Florida Keys, featuring distinct coastal markers like Point Mary and Point Elizabeth. This particular map captures the area before the massive modern development of the later 20th century, showing a sparsely settled landscape with isolated landmarks such as Knowlson and the House (South Gable). Internal water bodies like Lake Simmons and Lake Surprise are clearly defined, while maritime safety is represented by numerous offshore aids including Key Largo Beacon No 29 and Elbow Reef Beacon B. The mapping reflects 1946 aerial photography and 1947 ground surveys, documenting the intricate inlets of Garden Cove and Whitmore Bight as they appeared in the post-war era.
