About this map

Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve dominates this late-twentieth-century study, showcasing the developed barrier islands and the southern edges of Miami. The landscape is defined by its recreational and institutional architecture, from the Marine Stadium on Virginia Key to the sprawling Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. The map illustrates the sophisticated infrastructure connecting these islands to the mainland via the Rickenbacker Causeway and the William M Powell Bridge.

Maritime history is preserved at the southern tip of the island within the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area, where the Old Lighthouse Tower stands as a landmark over the Biscayne Channel. On the mainland, established neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Silver Bluff meet the water at Dinner Key Channel, while the Metrorail line provides a view of the burgeoning transit corridor just inland from the coast.
