About this map

Key West serves as the focal point of this Lower Keys survey, showing the city's development alongside the U S Naval Air Station and Key West International Airport. The geography of the archipelago is defined by the thin thread of US Highway 1 (Overseas Highway), which connects the islands across the massive Sevenmile Bridge. The map details the intricate network of channels and basins, such as Cudjoe Basin and Coupon Bight, that separate the various keys and mangrove islands.

Conservation areas dominate the central portion of the map, notably the National Key Deer Refuge and the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. Significant military and educational landmarks are present, including the Cudjoe Key Air Force Site and Florida Keys Community College. Local residential pockets like Sugarloaf Shores and Marathon Shores are shown, illustrating the coastal expansion occurring in the early 1980s.
