About this map

Vaca Key serves as the central spine of this coastal landscape, hosting the community of Marathon and The Florida Keys Marathon Airport. This 2015 survey illustrates a highly developed section of the Middle Keys, where the Overseas Hwy bridges various islands and keys. To the south, the deep waters of Hawk Channel and the Atlantic Ocean are dotted with shoals like Delta Shoal and East Washerwoman Shoal, while the north is bounded by the shallow Florida Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Residential growth is concentrated in areas like Marathon Shores and the incorporated city of Key Colony Beach, which features a distinct finger-canal layout. The map also details the complex shoreline of Boot Key and its namesake road, along with smaller landforms such as Pretty Joe Rock and Tingler Island. This geography highlights the intricate balance between coastal infrastructure and the surrounding marine environment of Monroe County.
