About this map

Grassy Key and the surrounding Middle Keys islands are defined by the thread of the Overseas Hwy, which serves as the primary artery connecting these low-lying landforms between the Gulf of Mexico and Hawk Channel. This coastal survey documents the residential and recreational development characteristic of the early 21st century, from the street grids of Duck Key to the Jolly Roger Travel Park. Significant maritime features include the Flying Bonefish Seaplane Base and the complex tidal waterways of Toms Harbor Channel and Toms Harbor Cut.

The landscape is dominated by submerged features and shoals, such as Bamboo Banks, Tripod Banks, and Grassy Key Bank, which illustrate the delicate transition between the open sea and the protected waters of Florida Bay. The map captures the infrastructure supporting these isolated communities, including named local roads like Harbour Dr and Jamaica St, providing a clear record of the area's modern footprint before any major environmental or structural changes of the subsequent decade.
