1972 Map of Loggerhead Key

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Loggerhead Key and the surrounding waters of Monroe County are captured in this 1970s orthophotomap, which combines aerial photography with topographic data to document the coral reef and island systems of the lower Florida Keys. The map details the shallow seafloor topography of Hawk Channel and the deeper Straits of Florida, showing the intricate bathymetry of reefs like Looe Key. A solitary Light serves as a navigational aid near the northern edge of the sheet, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a path through the shoals. These keys, including Big Munson Island and the Newfound Harbor Keys, represent a delicate maritime environment before the era of intensive modern coastal development. This specific edition provides a clear record of the natural shoreline and submerged features as they existed in the early 1970s.
