About this map

Key Biscayne and the surrounding coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean define this modern study of the Miami shoreline. The map documents the residential and recreational infrastructure of the barrier islands, connected to the mainland via the Rickenbacker Causeway. Institutional landmarks such as the Univ of Miami Rosenstiel School and the Mercy Hospital School anchor the northern reaches near Virginia Key.

On the mainland, established neighborhoods like Coconut Grove, Silver Bluff Estates, and Bay Heights line the western edge of Biscayne Bay. The southern portion of the sheet transitions from the developed community of Key Biscayne into the protected expanse of Biscayne National Park, terminating at Cape Florida. Specialized waterways, including the Dinner Key Channel and The Pines Canal, illustrate the intricate relationship between the land and sea in this South Florida environment.
